I worked with Robert at two different companies (Canonical and HP), as his peer and as his manager. He is one of the smartest people I know (and I know many highly intelligent technical people), and also open-minded, thoughtful, and not at all arrogant. At both companies, we had regular scheduled calls to discuss higher-level architecture problems of the systems we were developing, and the conversations were consistently one of the highlights of my week.

Robert is the brightest engineer I've ever had the opportunity to work with in my whole career. His contribution to the business unit extended from designing the org structure and processes with senior leadership, to hands-on troubleshooting of Linux kernel issues. He is a great mentor with strong communication and engineering skills, and his input and feedback are sought after by the whole business unit across a wide range of topics, from people management to software engineering. I'd be honored to work with Robert again in the future and have the opportunity to learn from him again.
