Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobin De Villiers is a seasoned Full Stack Engineer and tech lead with over two decades of hands-on experience delivering cloud-native, microservices and web applications for major financial and public-sector organisations. He combines deep backend expertise in Java/Kotlin/Groovy and Node.js with front-end skills in React and Angular, and has designed resilient systems using Postgres, Oracle, Mongo and HBase. Robin has led small teams, authored architectural proposals and run scalability and performance spikes for high-stakes programmes such as the Criminal Justice Common Platform and trade processing at JP Morgan. He is fluent in CI/CD and DevOps practices, has contributed to open-source testing and CI methodology discussions, and often blends BPM (Camunda) and event-driven patterns in document- and rules-heavy domains. Based in Glasgow, he brings the discipline of a mathematics/statistics background to pragmatic system design and a track record of turning complex regulatory and operational requirements into auditable, production-ready services. Notably, his recent work includes a Node.js/Kotlin recall application for HMPPS that ties operational workflows to custody decisions, showing an uncommon mix of technical depth and domain-sensitive delivery.
