Robert E. Jackson He earned his bachelor of science in electrical engineering from Purdue University in 1997, and since then has found himself in a multitude of pre- and post-sales positions with various successful start-ups, mostly in the network access technology space. He has played multiple roles over the course of his career, including sales engineer, solutions engineer, integration engineer, network engineer, and product manager. Throughout all of these engineering positions he never learned to drive a train, but he was able to experience the digital transformation from traditional data centers to cloud computing from multiple viewpoints. He is currently employed at HashiCorp as a senior solutions engineer, based in the northeast area of the United States.
