Top SchoolRobert Russo is a seasoned software developer and LMS specialist with 14 years of experience designing and implementing web and learning-management systems for LSU and its affiliates. A BFA in Graphic Design from LSU, he blends strong UI/UX sensibilities with backend expertise—having built CMS, e-commerce, and secure contribution systems in Perl and PHP early in his career. Since 2006 he has led LSU’s LMS efforts, managing evaluations, open-source and commercial deployments (notably early Moodle adoption), vendor coordination, and ongoing project leadership. He is an accessibility and standards advocate (HTML5/XHTML/CSS, FERPA, ADA) whose sites have been recognized for compliance and elegant implementation. Comfortable moving between hands-on development and program-level coordination, he brings practical problem-solving and institutional knowledge that reduce vendor risk and accelerate adoption.
