Robb Randall
@robbrandall
I build reliable distributed data platforms and AWS services at global scale.
What I'm looking for
At Amazon, I build and operate Java backend services, AWS infrastructure, deployment tooling, and fleet automation for globally distributed physical-security and DNS platforms. I led zero-downtime camera migrations across international sites, designed region-aware S3 and DynamoDB models, and improved deployment safety through validation, canaries, rollback, and post-incident improvements.
Previously at GoDaddy, I built an AWS-native data platform supporting more than 20 million customers, billion-row workloads, and $300+ million in annual campaign-driven revenue. I delivered .NET Core and Python Lambda workflows for customer, product, analytics, and machine-learning feeds, while strengthening data quality with contracts, schema validation, metadata checks, and dead-letter isolation.
Across 15+ years, I've worked from Oracle database administration and ETL modernization through distributed systems, cloud operations, and engineering leadership. I bring pragmatic architecture, ownership, testing discipline, and collaborative delivery across engineering, product, and data teams.
Experience
