Robert Tomb
Bio
Well, a simple tagline has been: "a nerd in the twin cities who has a family, a bicycle (or so), and some other stuff," which is pretty accurate.
Beyond that, I currently work in Minneapolis as a Director of Engineering for Shipt, by way of a couple of years in Target's tech organization. Prior, I'd worked in online advertising where I got my start in the SaaS world. Even before that, it was all on-prem software in the ERP world. I've helped build remote, local, and hybrid teams starting as far back as 2006. I like to build on those experiences to help new engineering managers grow their teams.
You may recognize me as a volunteer from previous Minnestar events, and now I'm helping out on the board. Volunteering with Minnestar might be the longest-running volunteer stint in my life.
