Product leader · Builder · Indie developer

Hi, I'm Rob.

I build products, teams, and occasionally entire game worlds. By day I work at the intersection of product, technology, AI, and ad tech. By night I make indie games because apparently one job wasn't enough.

About

I'm a Canadian product executive and lifelong builder based on Vancouver Island. I've spent my career turning ideas into products — from early internet projects and games to large-scale advertising technology.

I like practical technology, ambitious ideas, and shipping things people can actually use. Outside of work, I've returned to one of my oldest interests: building games independently.

Career

I'm Chief Product Officer at AdButler, where I help lead product strategy and development for advertising infrastructure used by publishers, retailers, and media companies around the world.

My work spans product, growth, sales, customer experience, and emerging technology, with a particular focus on AI-driven workflows and giving companies more control over their own media and advertising platforms.
