Hi 👋. My name is Rob and I've been playing with (programming) computers since way back in 1997-ish. A passion that developed when my parents bought our first proper computer - an IBM 386 - what a beast. They didn't let me fiddle with the actual hardware for fear of costing us thousands to fix it, so instead I realised I could play with the software instead, changing settings in Windows and Dos, then programming it to bend it to my will.

20 years later and I finally turned that passion and hobby into a career and have been climbing that ladder of learning new tech stacks and mentoring others to now running a small engineering team.

Away from programming, I have an incredibly supportive wife, a bunch of children, a dog and a cat (they are not friends). I'm also a keen movie watcher and also have a small (but growing) collection of Lego.
