Chuck Robinson

Application developer and systems administrator based in the Kansas City area, with twenty years spent keeping business software running and, since 2016, running webAnoid as an independent consultancy alongside that work.

My work sits at the intersection of maintaining what already exists and building what comes next: warehouse fulfillment software, e-commerce platforms, Azure cloud infrastructure, and Android/PHP applications on the systems-administration side; Joomla, WordPress, and Moodle builds, migrations, and multilingual sites on the consulting side. I like taking on the parts of a project other developers avoid — legacy code, undocumented integrations, systems that "mostly work."
