About
Engineering at the intersection of defense, cloud, and AI
I'm Robert Coffman, a software engineer and systems architect who has spent a career moving between mission-critical defense systems and large-scale enterprise platforms. From fusing radar and RF data for counter-drone systems to migrating global insurance infrastructure to the cloud, I build software that has to work under pressure — real-time, distributed, and resilient by design.
