CURIOSITY · CODE · EVERYDAY LIFE
Hey, I’m
Robert.
Hardware meets software.
Hands on, then automated.
I like taking things apart and building tools for the parts that repeat. Most of that is software now, with AI as part of the process. I’m not afraid to make a few mistakes and learn along the way.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
Do it by hand.
Then build the tool.
I’ve meandered a bit in life, but I tend to get there. I grew up around farm work, a family textile mill, and a bluegrass band where I played banjo. Somewhere along the way, I started building tools for the things I was doing by hand. That habit stuck.
At the mill, that meant connecting weighing equipment to an Access database and learning Visual Basic along the way. Since then, I’ve built reporting systems, websites, and production tools, with plenty of live sound, photography, and technical support mixed in. I like getting to the bottom of a thing. The language matters less than the problem.
Most of my apps start with something that could work better in my own life. I’ll turn it over in my head for a while, then sit down and build it. Someone recently said there’s probably not much I can’t do if I put my mind to it. I’m still deciding whether that was a compliment or a warning.
A FEW OTHER CONSTANTS
Good coffee.
Fresh air.
Something to wonder about.
I like good coffee, fresh air, and having something to figure out. Meditation, astrology, and patterns hold my attention. So do plants and four-footed friends.
I love going to the movies. During my photography days, I got into filmmaking and wanted to direct. I do like having a say in how things turn out. A good mystery drama makes for a fine evening, at the theater or at home.
