About

I'm Rob, a software engineer and computer science educator in Boston, Massachusetts, where I live with my spouse and two cats, one of whom likes hanging out on my desk.

I'm currently involved in a couple of part-time projects related to web development. If you're interested in help with projects on the web (frontend or backend), work that touches on programming languages or compiler development, or if you need a Retool expert, get in touch!

Longer-term, I'm interested in finding a full-time role at a company that is doing at least two of the three:

• addressing aspects of the climate crisis,
• avoiding venture capital, and
• that don't see software as their primary product.

I am not interested in companies investing in the use of large language models derived through the use of other people's intellectual property.

Contact me at robsimmons@gmail.com if you might be interested in working together!
