Meet Rob Bearman. Founder and CEO.

Rob is an experienced technical leader and lifelong learner. From self-taught software engineer to collaborating with Bill Gates at Microsoft, he develops solutions that grow into successful businesses. Rob leads software development teams, empowers engineers, and navigates diverse technology landscapes.

Rob understands career development beyond having a wealth of algorithmic knowledge, such as how to stay sane, build longevity, see opportunity, be brave, recover from mistakes, value learning, stay active, welcome change, identify inflection points, and understand how to start from zero.

Values

Change

Change happens constantly in technology, whether you’re a part of it or not. As engineers, we can never become too comfortable being an expert in what we know; inflection points are to be expected and embraced as part of what keeps the job exciting. Continuous learning is the most important skill in your toolset.

Innovation

Great software solves great problems, and if you’re not innovating, you’re merely copying. Innovation requires a deep understanding of the problem space, combined with incremental improvements that build toward success. Innovation comes from insights, creativity, and most importantly, community synergy.

Empathy

Empathy is a requirement for delivering the highest quality software. And it starts with empathy for users; without it, you’re writing software for yourself. Understanding others’ perspectives is crucial for relationship building and for making products that delight.

Community

Reputation is part of your job. Friendships and connections are made when engineers work together toward a common goal and leave individual egos behind. Community develops naturally between groups of developers who genuinely care about their colleagues and consumers.
