RockstarToby Allen is a seasoned software engineer turned hospitality leader with 15 years’ experience blending hands-on development and operations. After a decade working as a Delphi developer focused on compliance and risk management, he transitioned into food and hospitality and now manages Ballymaloe Cookery School, overseeing sales, processes, IT and guest services. Toby has migrated his engineering practice to PHP—finding productivity in Laravel—and brings practical systems thinking to business operations and IT.
