Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRobin Sue is a pragmatic technology leader and CTO based in Kuala Lumpur with 14 years of experience building and scaling digital products across agencies and regional accounts. He blends hands-on C#/.NET engineering—contributing to high-profile open-source projects like CoreRT, ASP.NET Core/Blazor and AngleSharp—with strategic leadership roles at Digitas, Publicis Groupe and Saatchi & Saatchi, driving data-led experiences for brands such as Coca-Cola, Nestlé and Samsung. Known for deep backend and performance work (memory management and AOT/runtime improvements) as well as frontend integration, he moves fluidly between optimizing low-level runtimes and shipping UX-facing features. He’s equally comfortable modernizing build systems and resolving tricky threading and serialization bugs as he is leading cross-functional teams. Colleagues describe him as a builder who brings engineering rigor into agency environments, turning complex technical debt into measurable business impact.
