The details? I’m Rob and I work daily to craft rich, interactive software that works well for real people—especially when it comes to the web and mobile. Lately, I’ve been receiving checks from an outfit named Apple, but over the past few years, it’s been my pleasure to be a part of companies like Appcelerator, makers of the Titanium framework, and Involution Studios, a fantastic little design firm in Boston.
But that’s the professional story. On days when I am allowed to roam free of a computer, you can find me running around a racquetball court like a madman, hiking, backpacking (I’m slowly conquering the AT), or out for a ride on my 1979 BMW R65.

McAfee SecurityCenter (Beta)
JsWin
I led a team at Involution Studios, consulting with McAfee to help design and engineer the UI for SecurityCenter 10 (in beta now). We created a JS library similar to SproutCore or Cappucino (you work with controls, not the DOM) that made the UI easy for their engineering team. -
