Robert Askam is a Lead Developer with 10 years of experience building full-stack web applications across healthcare, startups, and enterprise clients from Colchester, UK. He began his career handling highly sensitive patient data on IIS/MSSQL, which instilled a rigorous, risk-aware approach to software quality and clinical safety. Robert has driven product-led initiatives—from architecting Laravel/Vue LAMP stacks and Cordova/Ionic mobile apps to introducing Git, CI/CD, TDD, AWS S3 and monitoring as lead—while delivering ML-powered features such as automated windscreen repair vs replacement detection. Comfortable liaising with heads of IT and creating site-specific workflows, he blends hands-on coding with customer-facing problem solving and rapid patching under pressure. Outside work he captains Colchester Mens 1s hockey team, a role that reinforces his leadership and team-management skills.
