About Robert Kanok

I build and lead engineering teams that scale software platforms and improve how businesses run. I focus on making systems faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain. My work includes cloud upgrades, platform consolidation, and adding AI to solve real problems. At Oliver Technology, I improved system scalability eightfold and cut infrastructure costs by 85 percent. At Relativity, I built a monitoring system that saved a year and reduced downtime by 60 percent. At Tirios, I helped secure funding by building a roadmap focused on product growth and system resilience. I work across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I guide teams through DevOps, SRE, and platform strategy while supporting compliance, security, and cloud cost control. I also advise leadership teams on how to scale engineering in a way that matches business goals. If you’re working on scaling a product or team, I’d be happy to connect.
