Rob is a Principal Engineer in IT Infrastructure responsible for manufacturing network architecture and IoT infrastructure. He joined Intel in 1999, and over the next 10 years drove a variety of network infrastructure and factory security architectures. In 2010, Rob shifted to focus on wireless sensor technologies (RFID, Bluetooth, 802.15.4, ultrasound, etc.) to standardize on wireless telemetry and location sensor infrastructure. More recently he has been driving IoT infrastructure standardization, defining how market products land within Intel to solve our business problems. His E2E IoT analytic architecture has enabled our factories to accurately predict component failures weeks in advance. Rob has a long history of mentoring on repeatable innovation methodologies, from running programs such as innovation “boot camps” and kick-starter projects. He has been an Intel Patent committee member for six years, is currently a voting member of the IoT and Fog committee, and holds fifteen US patents.
