Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobbie Kershaw is a strategic technology consultant and trainer based in Sydney with 11 years of hands-on experience building resilient infrastructure, automating operations, and leading engineering and data teams across startups, mid-sized firms, and enterprise environments. He has repeatedly delivered measurable outcomes—virtualising data centres, doubling backup coverage, and reducing costs through targeted architecture and automation—while guiding organisations through DevOps and cloud migrations. At Devicie and Merge42 he blends product and leadership coaching with practical AI and automation tactics to make development teams more efficient and risk-aware. Known for bridging the gap between developers, security, and operations, he combines technical depth (Linux, AWS, virtualization, CI/CD) with commercial thinking from running his own consultancy and product distribution business. An atypical strength is his track record of creating bespoke automation (Python tooling and backup orchestration) that scaled from small clinics to university-wide infrastructures.
