Rob Flory

Rob helped build NACWS at the software company that developed it, then moved to the merchant side as chief technology officer of the business running it — one of the few people who has both written a platform and lived with it in production. He was in the weeds on the original build, helped develop the InfinitiOne door access system, and built the platform's Kisi access-control integration.

At Quadratic Digital he runs day-to-day operations for the payments business and oversees Quadratic Financial's product platform, along with commercial software delivery. His work sits where the architecture meets the merchants actually using it — which is the only place you find out whether the architecture was right.
