Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Parkinson is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with nine years of experience delivering government and enterprise web applications, often migrating legacy systems into modern, maintainable architectures. He has led technical teams and served as a tech lead and scrum master, shaping delivery, mentoring developers, and driving prioritisation of tech debt across projects for HMCTS, DEFRA, and the Environment Agency. Hands-on across the stack, Robert builds Node.js microservices and GDS-compliant frontend experiences using technologies like Next.js, TypeScript, Knex/Objection with PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes-hosted Docker deployments. He has a track record of simplifying distributed systems—migrating complex journeys and improving data quality and performance—and has shipped citizen-facing services from private to public beta. With an academic background in computing and mobile systems and a habit of stepping into teams lacking in-house knowledge, he’s adept at turning opaque legacy codebases into standardised, testable platforms.
