Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRob Mitchelmore is a systems engineer with 13+ years building eclectic, production-grade infrastructure and tooling—from datacentre automation and network state work at AWS/Twitch to systems architecture and resilience at Speakers Associates and Cloudflare. He combines deep UNIX and networking chops with a knack for lateral thinking, having implemented everything from virtual ethernet drivers and SMS–XMPP bridges to temporal narrative databases and simulators for naval radio equipment. Comfortable from low-level drivers to high-level orchestration, he’s repeatedly translated odd constraints into pragmatic, maintainable systems (for example, designing a scriptable datacentre and abuse management workflows at BlueSquare). Academically grounded with a PhD in the Digital Economy, Rob also brings a creative, interdisciplinary streak—evident in projects ranging from art-driven probes to collaborative image editors—that helps him spot unconventional but effective solutions.
