Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolBob Renwick is a Principal Software Engineer and hands-on technology leader with over a decade of experience building scalable web and data-driven systems across biotech, veterinary care, and retail analytics. He combines practical engineering (React, TypeScript, Python, FastAPI) with product-minded leadership, having founded and scaled teams, introduced monorepos, CI/CD, and migrated infrastructure to Kubernetes to cut bugs and improve deployment reliability. At Bactobio he bridged lab science and software, enabling ML-driven discovery workflows and platformized computational work so scientists could focus on research rather than DevOps. Earlier roles include scaling EDITED’s AI and engineering organization and single-handedly building Plexi’s veterinary SaaS before growing it into a 10‑person team, showing a pattern of turning prototypes into production platforms. An active contributor to React ecosystem tooling (contributions to FormidableLabs/radium), he pairs open-source attention to front-end detail with deep backend and data-system experience. He holds an MSc in Computing Science from Imperial College London and is based in London.
