Bio

I have known and worked with Robbie for over 6 years. In the latter period we worked together on pioneering the use of cloud native technologies within our organisation. A self starter, Robbie quickly came on board with the concepts and usage of modern frameworks such as Kafka, Kubernetes and Docker. As well as being technically adapt at switching between technologies, old, new and everything in between, he has always retained a skill at working with people both in and outside of our organisation. To anyone looking to hire, Robbie is a recruiters dream - never a risky hire, he would be an immediate asset where-ever he works.

Robbie is an asset to the team with multi-dimensional skills who try to ensure the high quality is met for our product and delivery. He has excellent analysis with ability to design and development of high volume data flow applications, scale analysis, scale testing and automation. I have worked with Robbie for many years and he listens and shares highly useful ideas and provides critical feedback in design and code reviews that adds high quality to product. I would recommend Robbie wherever there is a need of self driving person to achieve high quality in complex data flow analysis and development.

Apr 2016 - Jun 2020
Initially this role was an extension of my role as an intermediate engineer:- Full responsibility for a satellite ground segment monitoring and reporting solution as a Product Owner (PO)- Coordinating a small team of developers to fulfil the feature development and defect resolutions - Took over managing the product as a whole, handling all customer facing activities and pre-sales activities.Eventually I transitioned in to working as part of a larger team in development of a distributed Network Management System (NMS):- Focus here was on the data transport segment of the NMS, undertaking bug resolution and feature development, - Ensuring data flow and data accuracy when operating at scale- Part of an effort to replace the data transport mechanism with a custom Apache Kafka solution, which was more suited to the high data throughput requirements of the system. - Involvement in the development, and in particular the testing against the pre-existing solution. - Designed test plans, systems and reporting structures to improve product quality. - Involved in migration of a large portion of the Apache Kafka data transport mechanism to Kubernetes, working with a third party to design, develop and verify the solution when operating at expected scale.
