Summary
Rob Seward is an Open Source Integrator and seasoned software engineer with over two decades of experience building and operating scalable systems across Linux/UNIX, Oracle, and Java ecosystems. He has led engineering teams and architected production web clusters and enterprise integrations for clients ranging from BestBuy and Fortune 500 legal departments to high-throughput financial systems. Rob blends hands-on development (Python, Java, C#, REST APIs) with infrastructure expertise in cloud, containers, and orchestration (AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift), and has managed ML infrastructure using PyTorch and TensorFlow. His career shows a pattern of solving thorny integration and operational problems—automating deployments, monitoring, and data pipelines—while supporting 24/7 production services. Based in Dexter, Michigan, he pairs an MS in Computer Science with a practical, cross-stack approach that favors reliability and scalability over novelty. Notably, he has repeatedly moved projects from prototype to large-scale production, including a legal spend analytics platform acquired by ONIT.
