About Rob

Building a product shouldn’t feel chaotic, isolating, or risky. I partner with founders as a guide—helping them make clear decisions, avoid expensive mistakes, and build products that are scalable, meaningful, and successful.


I’ve spent decades designing, building, and advising products across startups, growth-stage companies, and global organizations. My background spans mobile systems, cloud architecture, data pipelines, AI-enabled workflows, and full-stack delivery. I stay hands-on enough to earn trust with technical teams, but my real focus is helping founders move with clarity and confidence.



Outside of work, you’ll usually find me on a trail—hiking, taking photos, and exploring new terrain..


Who I Am

I’m an engineer, technologist, and creative explorer with a deep curiosity for how ideas become real. I created My OWL Tech to help founders turn vision into reality through thoughtful strategy, clear architecture, and well-executed delivery.


Over the years, I’ve led high-performing teams from 3 to 60, designed mission-critical systems for aviation and defense, delivered mobile and cloud solutions across industries, and advised founders on product direction, technology strategy, and business alignment.


My strength is helping people make sense of complexity. Founders rely on me for calm, practical guidance—someone who can bridge business goals with technical decisions, ask the right questions, and turn ambiguity into a clear, executable plan.

What I Do

I work with founders and growth-stage teams to reduce risk, clarify direction, and ensure they build the right product the right way.
