Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Whitaker is a software engineer based in Beacon, NY with 11 years of experience building front-end focused web applications and complementary backend and desktop tooling. A Marist College CS graduate with a game design concentration, he has a track record at startups and at IBM of turning messy codebases into modular, maintainable systems—most notably reducing 13,000 lines of CSS into a compact, fully responsive stylesheet and formalizing Ember.js standards. He enjoys functional programming and brings that mindset to UI and tooling work, having also built command-line automation and an Android demo app for game content workflows. Collaborative by nature, he regularly participates in hackathons and game jams, and outside of code he’s a musician and aspiring novelist, which feeds his interest in expressive, user-centered product experiences.
