Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRob Walker is an experienced software and systems practitioner with over three decades of hands-on engineering, architecture and project management experience, now leading QA and software testing solutions as a Partner at Ascert. His career spans high-stakes financial and media environments—designing transaction-processing systems, cross-platform migrations and press-management data warehouses for clients including Merrill Lynch and News International. Comfortable with low-level technologies (C, COBOL, Unix/Tandem environments) and complex integrations like ISO 8583 and SNA, he blends deep legacy expertise with pragmatic delivery on infrastructure-heavy programs. A frequent freelance architect and PM throughout the 1990s, he has a track record of turning platform constraints into robust, multi-platform solutions. Based in London, he pairs technical depth from early development roles with commercial and product strategy experience accrued as a business unit manager. Notably, his background suggests a rare fluency in both legacy transaction systems and modern QA practices, making him a strong bridge between old and new technology stacks.
