Robert Mulcahy is an experienced independent consulting and testifying expert witness who has 30 years of direct hands-on experience in numerous positions in the computer, software and computer storage industries. He has worked as a technical sales expert, a software developer and a support engineer. In these positions, he has created, sold and supported products and services that used a wide variety of technologies including fault tolerance, Linux, device drivers and Java. He has also employed and adapted many different software engineering, support, and sales practices such as agile project management, product testing, source code reviews, and compliance audits. As a technical sales expert, he has sold products based upon these technologies and practices.

Mr. Mulcahy has provided technical consultation on a variety of technologies and engineering issues and has testified three times on Copyright, Patent and software contract issues.  His ability to translate complex technical ideas and concepts into accessible and understandable language developed primarily while in technical sales and customer service. In those roles, he engaged in frequent discussions, created and delivered formal presentations and papers, and created and taught classes where he explained and at times defended the practices and technologies used by the company for which he worked. The audiences included executives, technical experts and/or novice end-users – and not necessarily friendly.

Mr. Mulcahy has analyzed and tested complex computer systems and software applications both as an Expert Witness and in his various engineering and management roles and clearly communicated his findings in clear and understandable language.  His experience writing both formal technical documents as well as user manuals has helped hone his writing skills.
