Summary
Robert Mennell is a pragmatic principal application development engineer with 10 years of experience building reliable, accessible web and cloud systems, currently leading application development at Centene Corporation. He excels at full‑stack problem solving—bridging front-end UX and accessibility with backend services, GraphQL integrations, and cloud deployments—preferring durable design and maintainability over language loyalty. His track record includes driving measurable user-retention improvements at Hilton, rewriting and modernizing stacks at JLM Energy, and implementing resilient deployment practices that minimized downtime. Collaborative by practice, he works closely with designers, accessibility specialists, and product teams to deliver inclusive, testable interfaces and robust integration points. Based in California, he brings an engineer’s mentality to architecture and a designer’s eye to code, treating software as a combination of design and program.
