Rob Bateman is a Software Engineer at Savage Interactive. He possess expertise in mel, opengl, maya, c++, shaders and 42 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Rob is an exceptional programmer, someone who has the enviable skill "T" - an expansive knowledge of all manner of technical subjects paired with a deep battle-hardened understanding of all things C++ and 3D, from wrangling with misbehaving authoring packages, architecting substantial parts of our applications all the way down to writing bare-metal SIMD-optimised math libraries. Plus he is keen to spread the knowledge around; being around Rob one becomes a better coder by osmosis. I can only hope our paths cross again in the future..!" and "At Bournemouth Rob was always willing to share his passion and ideas about programming and computer animation education with students and lecturers alike. Personally I appreciated the way he was able to give me sound advice on my own programming, and could communicate his incisive knowledge in a way that took account of my more chaotic understanding and encouraged me to learn more. I am sure he has had and will continue to have a similar positive effect on others' development of coding skills and will be a creative asset to any company that engages him."
