Rob Britton

Before doing this work, I spent 15+ years building technology systems at serious scale. I designed the distributed scheduling system behind YouTube's data warehouse (improving performance up to 10x). 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.

I bring that same systems thinking to a very different context: helping operations leaders who know technology should be giving them an edge but don't have anyone on their team who can make that happen.

If you're running a manufacturing or ag operation in the Northeast and technology feels like it's working against you instead of for you, 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 companies to grow out of the "everyone knows everyone" phase into a more structured organization, with clear roles, responsibilities, and communication channels.

Zero-to-One

I have repeatedly launched initiatives from scratch, both as a founder and early technical leader. I'm able to organize and prioritize what needs to get done to build something new.

Data & AI

I have led large-scale initiatives to build data and AI systems that improve decision-making and save time for both leadership and operational teams.

Need a modernization plan without disrupting operations?
