Emrys Roberts is a Lead Developer and UI Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable web applications and bespoke database systems from the Welsh town of Blaenau Ffestiniog. He’s held progressive leadership roles at Aevus and Worldspan and combines hands-on front-end work with deep back-end skills—Linux, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript and database design are core strengths. Emrys contributes to open-source energy-monitoring tooling (emoncms), improving database setup robustness, API routes, and data handling—reflecting an interest in practical IoT and environmental data systems. He’s equally comfortable shipping polished UIs and architecting server-side features, and brings a pragmatic focus on reliability and maintainability born from long-running projects. Outside the obvious, his background includes early web and rich-media work (Flash) which gives him an uncommon appreciation for UX detail in engineering.
