Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRob Bell is a founder, broadcaster and software-minded engineer based in London with 14 years of experience building high-scale, distributed systems and the teams that run them. Trained as a mechanical engineer (MEng with French, University of Bath), he pairs deep technical curiosity with storytelling—hosting 100+ hours of factual TV and producing the Sketchplanations podcast to make engineering accessible. He founded Bell Boy Productions and consults on energy services, bringing product design experience from a decade at the Energy Saving Trust to corporate clients across transport, utilities and defence. An extreme endurance athlete and adventurer (one of few to run 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 days), he brings the same resilience and logistics-first thinking to complex technical projects. Comfortable both in front of the camera and in architecture discussions, he translates messy real-world constraints into pragmatic, scalable solutions. Colleagues rely on him for clear communication, creative problem solving, and a rare blend of media, energy-sector and systems engineering experience.
