Top SchoolChris Roberts is a Technical Lead with 11 years' experience designing and delivering resilient systems at the BBC and Citymapper, where he scaled internal tooling to support 100+ cities and led a team of six engineers. He combines systems architecture, product management and hands-on engineering—often working across esoteric system interfaces to turn complex data streams into reliable, production services. At the BBC he drove real-time audio metadata and playout projects that improved content discovery and operational resilience, and at Citymapper he deployed ML to automate data-quality detection for analysts. Known for clarifying product–engineering communication, he thrives under tight deadlines and across stakeholder levels from technicians to boards. He holds an MEng from the University of Kent and brings a pragmatic, creative approach to taking projects from conception through to delivery.
