About
ROBERT SILVER
I've built an e-commerce platform from the ground up. I enjoy working across the full stack of an application
and drilling down into the particulars of a given technology or contributing to design or marketing efforts.
If an application I'm working on lives in the cloud, even better. I find the intersection of code and infrastructure
particularly engaging and am a huge proponent of cloud computing for its ability to make it possible for businesses
of all sizes to benefit from well designed, scalable systems.
