Senior🎓
Top SchoolGuy Roberts is a pragmatic contract developer with 25 years of hands-on experience and 11 years focused on delivering SaaS products using Ruby on Rails, Angular, and a broad cloud stack. He excels at turning messy requirements into simple, cost-effective production systems—often integrating legacy SOAP services into modern RESTful APIs and scaling services on Heroku, AWS and Cloud Foundry. His clients range from government and healthcare to finance and retail (Department for Education, NHS, Payzone/Post Office, Swiss Bank), demonstrating an ability to navigate regulated and high-availability environments. Comfortable across backend, frontend and ops, he pairs rigorous testing practices with practical load testing and monitoring to avoid launch-day surprises. Based in Nottingham, he also brings an unusual background—biology BSc and an MSc in computer science plus an MBA—that helps him bridge technical, regulatory and business concerns.
