Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSean Roberts is a seasoned Bay Area technology leader and entrepreneur with over two decades of experience building cloud, storage, and open data infrastructure at organizations including Stanford, Yahoo, VMware, and Electronic Arts. A founding member and former OpenStack board director, he blends hands-on systems engineering with executive leadership—most recently serving in CTO and CEO roles across startups and civic tech ventures. He now applies that mix of technical depth and public-minded strategy to local water governance as a candidate for the Zone 7 Water Board while simultaneously leading multiple ventures in AI training, data journalism, and legal imaging. Comfortable at the intersection of open source, product, and policy, Sean has a track record of translating complex distributed systems into practical, auditable solutions. Notably, his career moves between large enterprise R&D and scrappy startups reveal a pragmatic operator who still codes and advises on full-stack implementations.
