Robert W. is a Senior Manager, Software Engineering at Walmart. Colleagues describe him as "I had the pleasure of working with Robert for 5 years at ITKO and later CA. Robert’s journey at ITKO/CA was a textbook example of someone being purposeful about growing, leading, and making a lasting impact. Robert was instrumental in Service Virtualization moving out of the alpha/beta stage and into a market defining and leading product. He was a change agent within our team, advocating for agile practices and helped guide us as we matured our teams and development process. As SV architect, Robert worked closely with product management to influence the direction of the product, and was responsible for a number of innovative features. He constantly pushed us to be a better engineering organization. I highly recommend Robert, and look forward to working with him in the future.", "Robert is one of the best out-of-the box innovators I've worked with in my career. I had the pleasure of working with him for around 2 years when he was the CA Service Virtualization chief architect and an inventor of a multitude of patents. Robert’s technical skills coupled with his ability to share his knowledge with others is key in the software business. He would claim he is “just a guy who likes to code” while in the same breath take part in customer discussions, present at major conferences and train the team on the architecture and core components of the industry leading CA Service Virtualization technology. Robert and I worked as a team with various Scrum teams. I’ve told people he was the 2nd half of my brain during this time, stepping into the Product Owner role when I was busy interacting with customers. He helped me productize multiple inventions, including Opaque Data Processing and Learning Mode which are industry leading tools. It was a pleasure working with Robert and I hope to do so again in the future. I highly recommend him.", and "Robert is one of those people that leaves a trail of successes in his wake. He is just an awesome person to have on your team. Robert has excellent design and programming skills and a very solid understanding of agile best practices such as test driven development, continuous integration, and executable requirements. While at Valtech he also succeeded at leading teams, teaching courses, and mentoring customers. I would gladly work with Robert again."
