After obtaining a joint honours degree in Law and Computer Science, Rob went on to qualify as a solicitor and practised law for ten years. He managed the IT for his firm for the duration of his career, then moved from law into a formal IT position. With a growing interest in information security and compliance, he picked up CISSP and ISO 27001 certifications in 2017 and 2019 respectively. Rob joined Intech in 2020, bringing his broad technology interests and passion for solving problems, which together with a keen legal mind have led him to eject the word “impossible” from his vocabulary.

Rob is a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, bass, drums and percussion. When not plucking or hitting things, he can often be found behind a camera. His primary hobby though is, and always will be, computing. It is his love of technology that fuels his passion for developing sophisticated, pragmatic solutions for Intech’s clients.

With a background in Electronic Engineering, Robert qualified with a first-class honours degree in Computer Science. He has worked as a programmer and web developer since 2001, starting with developing online site management tools and escrow account services for SMEs at a business incubation unit in the University of Manchester, before joining Intech in 2005.

Robert is too busy to have any interests outside of work.
