Summary
Robert Zablit is a Senior Full Stack Engineer based in Los Angeles with over a decade of experience building scalable web and backend systems in Ruby, TypeScript, Kotlin, and cloud-native stacks. He has led and grown cross-functional teams at companies from startups to Vanta, where he scaled a partner-focused team and redesigned membership and sync architectures to improve performance and reliability. A pragmatic technical leader, he’s shipped database optimizations (denormalized referential schemas for MongoDB), moved heavy cross-region syncs to serverless lambdas, and cut CI/CD and runtime costs through focused refactors and migrations. As a founder of Zabrador Software he blends hands-on product work—inventory, invoicing and access-control systems—with coaching engineering culture for SMBs. Known for reducing bugs via clever testing infrastructure (in-memory Postgres for fast integration tests) and for turning complex operational problems into automated, customer-facing improvements.
