It is my pleasure to highly recommend Robert Gallo. As a Software Architect at PlayOn Sports, I worked closely with Robert for nearly two years. His strategic leadership and design expertise on the GoFan products consistently impressed me.

Robert demonstrates true design leadership that extends beyond just pixels and prototypes. He was passionate about elevating the entire UX group by creating systems to guide their thinking and by actively teaching new concepts. His leadership in driving conversations about creating scalable and maintainable design systems was particularly valuable from my perspective as an architect, as it showed a deep understanding of long-term product health.

I was particularly impressed by his work leading the complete redesign of GoFan’s core ticket purchasing flow. Furthermore, he owned the critical ‘Box Office’ point-of-sale application, used for scanning tickets and selling concessions at events. His commitment to owning the end-to-end journey—from the fan’s initial purchase to the school’s event-day management—was instrumental in creating a seamless experience for all users. Throughout these complex projects, he fostered a fantastic collaborative relationship with the development team.

Robert’s strategic UX work was a clear driver of GoFan’s success, which hosted over 259,000 events and saw 23% year-over-year growth during his tenure. He is a rare talent who combines strategic leadership with hands-on design skill and a clear focus on business results. Robert would be an invaluable asset to any product organization.
