ROBERT
STEWART
Software Developer focused on building robust architectures and exploring the intersection of traditional development and agent-based automation.
ABOUT
I'm a full-stack engineer who builds production systems — the kind that handle real users, real data, and real scale. At NE Innovation Labs, I architected a multi-tenant, location-based mobile commerce platform from the ground up: Flutter and Node.js on the backend, MySQL for data persistence, and AWS ECS for containerized infrastructure.
I spent two years mentoring 100+ students at Bellevue University, improving outcomes by 20% through structured reviews and system design guidance. Currently pursuing my M.S. in Data Science — bridging engineering with machine learning and intelligent, data-driven systems.

PROJECTS
"A showcase of end-to-end platforms, multi-tenant architectures, and operational tools."
YourOpoly
Built a cross-platform mobile system for gamified local commerce—map-based discovery, QR check-ins, leaderboards, promotions, and prize mechanics—backed by a scalable REST API and structured domain models.
- Location validation at scale: Implemented server-side proximity enforcement using Haversine distance with configurable per-game radii.
- Multi-tenant architecture: Designed organization-scoped data models (games, businesses, memberships) with RBAC-style access control.
- Identity & real-time systems: Integrated OAuth providers (Google, Apple, Microsoft) with JWT-based session management; leveraged Socket.io for real-time client coordination.
Multi-Product Admin Platform
Architected a role-based admin platform serving two distinct products (YourOpoly and GLG-Bingo) utilizing shared backend services.
- Implemented per-product and per-tenant control panels to ensure granular access management and data isolation.
- Separated a privileged administrator layer from scoped self-service mini-dashboards.
- Empowered app owners to update businesses, logos, timers, and mini-games without touching critical systems.
E-Commerce Application
Built Next.js storefront with server-side rendering, integrated Stripe payment processing, and PostgreSQL database.
- Implemented session management and optimistic UI updates for improved user experience.
Django Reservation System
Developed high-traffic booking platform with HTMX for dynamic UI updates.
- Designed conflict resolution logic for concurrent bookings.
- Implemented automated email notifications.
Operational Efficiency & Support Suite
Engineered a suite of internal tools to centralize technical service tracking, safety compliance, and estimation.
- Safety Compliance & CMS Integration: Enabled real-time hazard reporting for field installers, achieving full adoption as a daily operational tool.
- Estimation Software Enhancement: Developed a dynamic pricing and service catalog leveraging MySQL and external APIs.
- Service Desk CRUD Application: Engineered a Laravel-based help desk platform with full CRUD functionality.
SYSTEMS-FIRST DEVELOPMENT
In a rapidly evolving landscape, I focus on the fundamentals of building great software. By combining traditional development practices with emerging automation tools, I build production-grade applications that leverage the best of both worlds.
- Robust Architecture Design
- Intelligent Tool Integration
- Data-Driven Development
Operating with 99.9% uptime across production environments. Focusing on scalable architectures and robust deployment pipelines.
