Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Brown is a Staff Engineer based in Colchester with 11 years of experience building large-scale applications and modern infrastructure, now leading platform work at Bud. He is a polyglot engineer who prefers Go, Java and Node.js but brings deep backend experience across Ruby on Rails, C, Python and SQL/Oracle databases, as well as ops skills in POSIX/Windows environments and scripting. His career blends startup initiative (co-founding Notevid and directing Shakin8) with enterprise-grade delivery at institutions like Barclays and M&G, giving him a pragmatic lens on reliability and risk. At REalyse he focused on backend systems that power analytics, and his progression at Bud from Software Engineer to Staff Engineer underscores a track record of technical ownership and mentoring. Unusually, his background combines a 1st class Computing degree with geography, reflecting an ability to connect technical design to real-world context and data.
