Summary
Robert Platek is a Strategic Data Analytics Lead and seasoned IoT entrepreneur with 16 years of professional experience and a software career stretching back over two decades. He founded and scaled multiple IoT ventures—including SensorSuite, a Gartner-recognized smart-building platform—and built Toronto’s largest IoT meetup to connect practitioners across hardware, edge computing and AI. Equally comfortable in C/C++, Python/Django and cloud architectures, he pairs hands-on engineering with product design and go-to-market insight to deliver real-world connected solutions that cut operational costs. At the City of Vaughan he now leverages data analytics to turn municipal systems into smarter services, drawing on formal AI strategy training from MIT Sloan. Known for bridging hardware and software, he often designs for the constraints of physical systems rather than treating devices as generic endpoints.
