Summary
Mike Robeson [dijksterhuis] is a Data Engineer with 11 years' experience blending data engineering, DevOps and backend development to deliver cost-effective, production-ready systems from campus research to commercial products. He has led architecture reworks that cut cloud costs by ~40%, migrated core services onto AWS, and built robust CI/CD, monitoring and SSO practices while mentoring data scientists in engineering best-practices. His background includes adversarial audio research (PhD work evading DeepSpeech) and running GPU-enabled JupyterHub and container pipelines for university labs, giving him a rare mix of research-grade ML experience and pragmatic infrastructure skills. Comfortable as the “fire extinguisher” on-call, he’s repeatedly stabilised flaky CI/CD, storage and cloud incidents and redesigned systems to reduce operational toil. Based in Dundee, he also brings a creative side—publishing code on GitHub and producing “weird electronic music” in his spare time.
