Robb is the managing partner of ROTEK RACING which is based at the legendary Nürburgring. Robb is also known for his “Grocery Getter” series on Jalopnik, technical writing in Grassroots Motorsports, and race reporting on SPEEDtv.com.

It’s not uncommon to see IT branding plastered across the side of race cars in many motorsports disciplines, names like AWS, Crowdstrike, SailPoint and others immediately come to mind. But for Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and Artificial Intelligence the relationship between technology and racing goes far beyond stickers and sponsorship dollars. As a crossover between the Break/Fix and Tech Transforms Podcasts, we want to thank Mark and Carolyn for having us on their show to explore this idea. Tech Transforms: More Than Meets the Eye. Global technology is changing the way we live. Critical government decisions affect the intersection of technology advancement and human needs.
