Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRob Deans is a Senior Data Engineer with a decade of experience building data-driven systems across startups and scale-ups in the UK, currently working at Synthesia after senior roles at 7bridges and Babylon. He blends data engineering and applied data science from hands-on experience as a Data Scientist at Instrumental and an academic background in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence from Loughborough University. Deeply interested in AI—especially reinforcement learning since his final-year project—he brings that curiosity into production-focused data platforms and ML workflows. His career spans roles from CTO to runtime developer, giving him a rare mix of leadership, systems-level engineering, and product sensibility. Active on GitHub and experienced in moving models and pipelines to production, he thrives on turning experimental ML ideas into reliable, scalable services.
