About Robert Melton

Robert is a co-founder of Patdek Software. He's also a founder at Sane Built. He has over a decade of experience as a hands on lead developer. His experience ranges from building command centers for government agencies, real time credit reporting systems for Equifax and consumer facing products like Winamp and Inky.

He focuses on high scale projects with special attention spent to minimizing accidental complexity. His generalist background allows him focus on the evergreen underpinnings of technology. Treating hardware, operating systems, languages, frameworks, version control and development methodologies as simply tools.

I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail. -- Abraham Maslow / Abraham Kaplan
