Robin Howlett is a seasoned software development manager and director-level engineering leader with 11 years of experience building and scaling cloud-native platforms across startups and large enterprises. Based in Boulder, he has led cross-functional teams of 24+ engineers spanning the US and India, shipping integration connectors, developer SDKs, and high-throughput APIs for companies like Amazon and SnapLogic. Technically fluent across AWS/GCP/Azure, Kafka, Snowflake/Redshift, BigQuery, Hadoop, PostgreSQL and numerous enterprise SaaS systems, he blends deep systems knowledge with product-facing sales and solution pitching. He founded developer and community initiatives (Snap Development Site, SnapLogic Community, Snap University) to boost third-party adoption and engineer learning. An ongoing open-source publisher and occasional media presenter, he pairs hands-on engineering with strategic architectural decision-making and hiring/process design. Notable for being the first engineer hired in Boulder for SnapLogic, he consistently turns integration complexity into extensible, customer-facing solutions.
