Portrait of Robert Murch

About

I am Robert Murch, a software engineer moving intentionally toward Scrum Master and delivery roles. My work sits at the intersection of team coordination, quality alignment, and system-level risk, grounded by years spent close to production code. I most recently contracted through UpWork for TeeJet Technologies, working on a large, long-lived, modular, plugin-based platform used in production agricultural equipment. My work is grounded in embedded Linux, C/C++, and Qt/QML systems, with responsibility for design, documentation, production bug fixes, and Scrum-aligned delivery practices.

What I bring

Systems-level perspective across long-lived codebases, with a growing focus on team delivery, quality, and technical risk.

How I work

Clear facilitation, practical technical communication, early risk signals, and alignment between engineering and leadership.

What I value

Transparency, team flow, correctness, maintainability, and steady delivery under real constraints.

System Evaluation

Architecture reviews, delivery risk identification, and maintainability assessment.

Embedded Engineering

Embedded Linux, C/C++, and Qt/QML in production systems with real operational constraints.

Technical Due Diligence

Clear, grounded technical assessments to support informed delivery decisions.

Scrum Master is the primary direction; software development is available when the role needs deeper engineering context. Open to roles that need both — a Scrum Master who can contribute directly as a developer when the work calls for it.
