Top SchoolRobert Metcalf is a seasoned technology leader and hands-on software architect with 25+ years of experience building and operating large-scale distributed systems and cloud platforms. Currently Senior Practice Manager in Saint Paul, he has hired and mentored 150+ consultants, scaled a 50+ engineer cloud practice, and driven C-level initiatives that transformed a staffing mindset into a consulting organization. His career includes architecting global deployments across 60+ data centers, designing exabyte-scale object storage automation, and implementing zero-downtime VPC and encryption services in Go and Kubernetes. He combines startup grit (founder of Flyspy and early web firms) with enterprise rigor from multiple IBM programs, frequently authoring operational playbooks and hundreds of pages of organizational documentation.

Based in Minnesota, he also teaches MBA-level courses, underscoring a commitment to mentoring and organizational design.
