Robert Peters is a founder and seasoned software leader with 13 years of experience building and scaling web platforms, now offering fractional CTO and consulting services from San Francisco. He has led technical teams across continents at ORCID—growing the service from thousands to millions of researchers—while remaining a hands-on engineer across the stack (Java, Python, Node, PostgreSQL, MongoDB and cloud ops). Robert has co-founded startups focused on data-driven virtual care payment systems and continues to help early-stage companies with architecture, team build-outs, and strategic technical roadmaps, particularly in healthcare, academic, and fintech domains. Known for migrating legacy processes to continuous delivery and open-sourcing large codebases, he combines product-minded engineering with operational rigor. Outside work he prioritizes parenting, which he cites as his primary full-time role, yet still finds time to tinker and prototype systems.
