Robert Wells is an engineering manager with nine years of experience building infrastructure, compliance, and revenue-generating platform services from the ground up. Based in San Francisco, he has led KYC/KYB, AML, and banking initiatives—championing Carta’s KYC as a Service and driving compliance work for the Corporate Transparency Act while scaling teams through hiring, restructuring, and promotions. He combines hands-on technical delivery (Terraform, AWS, CI/CD, React/Django stacks) with organizational improvements like clearer leveling guidelines and open technical decision-making. Earlier roles show a pattern of moving services from prototype to production, reducing costs and operational friction through migration and observability work. A former Marine Corps sergeant, he brings disciplined systems thinking and a penchant for practical automation to complex, cross-functional problems.
