Robert Pitts
Self Employed at Independent Consultant
New York, New York, United States
Summary
👤
SeniorRobert Pitts is a pragmatic, polyglot software engineer and independent consultant with 16 years of experience building production systems, developer tooling, and infrastructure across startups and scale-ups. He has led early engineering efforts and mentored growing teams—from being the first senior hire at Rhino to expanding small NYC offices—while shipping migrations off Heroku to AWS using Terraform, Docker, CI/CD and SRE practices. Comfortable in functional languages (Clojure, Haskell, Elixir) as well as Ruby, Python and tooling like Nix and Kubernetes, he blends hands-on feature work with devops and data engineering. His consulting work covers data migration, distributed-ish systems, and pragmatic fixes for human and process problems that often block delivery. Based in New York, he’s the sort of engineer who moves between greenfield design and ruthless refactoring, equally at home teaching teams new infrastructure patterns.
