Rob Bullington
Rob started his adventure with O’Reilly Media as a CS agent in 2003, working his way up to Marketing and PR Coordinator, where in 2005 he was introduced to Make: magazine. These were the things he grew up on, “books that are bigger than a nutshell about coding are great and all, but people building and blowing up things in their garage, that’s where I wanted to be”. After some begging and pleading, he took on the responsibility of starting our e-com platform, which consisted of 4 magazines and a t-shirt. From that he helped grow Maker Shed (coined over burritos at the Austin Maker Faire) both online and at events until mid-2014. Moving to the Events team, under Sherry Huss, he worked on process development, departmental and Sponsor activation, onsite production management and logistics for the flagship Maker Faires. Currently he is managing operations which allows him to get back to his roots of working across the whole company.
