Do you remember when a floppy disk was actually floppy? Do you even remember floppy disks? Rob Carpenter does. With more than 30 years of experience with technology issues, Carpenter has worked on everything from punch cards to iPads. The keyboard he types on every day is older than some staff members.
Since joining the team in 1997, Carpenter has guided and supported staff through the rapidly evolving world of technology, from arguing when he first arrived that IDFA needed to be connected to the Internet to helping teams navigate today’s cloud computing and AI landscape, all while keeping everyone cyber-safe.
Before joining IDFA, Carpenter held positions with the Associated Press and the IEEE Computer Society. He has a Bachelor of Science degree in Audio Technology from American University and is a native of Philadelphia.
