Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRob Newman is a Principal Software Engineer based in Leeds with nine years of senior software leadership and a long track record at KPMG and AND Digital driving technical delivery and team growth. He blends hands-on C#/.NET architecture and cloud experience with people leadership—managing multi-site development and QA teams, shaping product roadmaps, and stepping into Scrum roles when needed. At AND Digital he influenced practice-level standards and engineer development, and at KPMG Nunwood he led the Customer Experience Cloud platform from technical design through operational support. Comfortable across full-stack web patterns, TDD and Azure-based deployments, he emphasizes engineering communities and up-skilling to raise delivery quality. He’s as comfortable writing production code as he is recruiting and mentoring engineers, often balancing strategic direction with day-to-day technical problem solving. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic, delivery-focused leader who elevates teams through clear standards and hands-on support.
