Product designer, software engineer, generalist.

Hi, I’m Scott Robbin, a full-stack developer who works with start-ups to build and ship products. I’m also a musican, open government advocate, and traveler. I’ve been working on the web for over 20 years, contributing to open source projects and my own. Feel free to click around and get to know me.
