Technology Leader Product Innovator

Hi, I'm Robert Gonzalez, and I've been immersed in technology since 1998, when I started teaching myself HTML, JavaScript, and CSS from a magazine a buddy had given me.

With an undying curiosity and a desire to make an impact every day, I am driven to expand my knowledge, grow my sphere of influence, and hone my brand. I believe technology should make our lives better, less complicated, and easier to navigate. Technology should just work, and it should eliminate our need to even know we are interacting with it.

But there's a lot more to me than Engineering leadership. I build innovative products that deliver value, at scale, with quality. I build cultures of trust, mutual respect, and synergy. I identify and develop leaders of people, and establish paths to personal and professional success. I use data to drive toward ambitious goals that extend beyond typical span-of-control boundaries. I lead. I innovate.

I'm a budget-conscious, data-driven, goal-oriented leader. I'm ambitious, hungry, and confident. I strive to make an impact every day, seeking out complex problems that need high value solutions, then developing the strategies that deliver those solutions. I don't shy away from the hard problems or the sometimes uncomfortable questions, like...
