About Me

Rob Britton

Before doing this work, I spent 15+ years building technology systems at scale. I designed the distributed scheduling system behind YouTube's data warehouse (improving performance up to 10x), and I built deep learning infrastructure for self-driving cars at NVIDIA (I taught cars how to see). I took Wrk from an MVP prototype to a Series A as their lead architect and later director.

I bring that same systems thinking to earlier-stage software companies. The product is in market, a lot of the product was built quickly, and there is no technical lead to own what happens next. I put that leadership in place while the product is outgrowing how it was built.

If you're running an earlier-stage software company and the product is getting harder to change, I'd be glad to talk. No pitch, just a conversation about what's actually going on and whether I can help.

Experience & Domain Depth

Scale

I've worked with software companies growing out of the "everyone knows everyone" phase. That means clearer ownership of the product, and a team that can change it without depending on one person.

Zero-to-One

I have repeatedly taken products from a prototype to something customers depend on, both as a founder and as an early technical leader. I know what to do first when the goal is to get something real into market and keep it running.

Data & AI

I have led large-scale work on data and AI systems. That background is how I tell which parts of a fast-growing product will hold once people depend on them, and which parts will not.
