Robert Bruce Email & Phone Number

Robert Bruce is a Chief Technology Officer at Manuka | The Databricks People. He possess expertise in agile methodologies, scrum, rest, xml, databases and 35 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Rob is one of those rare individuals whose technical experience has both depth and breadth. He is able to look at a problem and architect a solution whose elegance and simplicity belies the complexity of the challenge. His ability as an architect is matched by his ability to develop and implement the solution. Both his architecture and implementation stands up well to external scrutiny. He has a grasp of the fundamental principles that underpin programming languages and this allows him to pick up new languages extremely quickly. A clear demonstration of this was in his work to debug the Apache Spark Cassandra connector with the fix contributed back (as Pinpoint labs) into the open source project. His work on Personalisation in the Big Data space saw him implementing distance and clustering algorithms in an extremely impressive proof of concept. As someone who lists his work as an agile coach he also demonstrates the ability to educate and mentor team members. Rob has innovative ideas for the application of Apache Spark which should interest anyone with an interest in large scale data operations. I fully expect his work to become more widely known.", "I am hesitant to write the truth about Rob in case he gets so popular that he has no time to work for me anymore :-) Rob has built several websites for us recently that I cannot fault. His work is impeccable, fast, and of a very high standard. He is super-reliable, and always replies promptly and explains technical things in an easy-to-understand way. Rob is a true gem that I feel lucky to have found.", and "I've managed Rob over a number of years, firstly whilst manager of Portal Services and more recently as manager of Tactical CS. Rob is a very strong developer and constantly strives to improve the systems at Orange. He is highly talented, forward thinking, well read and as a consequence brings new and innovative ways to deliver solutions in a rapid, yet robust manner. I would recommend Rob's work without hesitation as he is intelligent, reliable, works to a level substantially above his current role and is a pleasure to manage."

Listed skills include Agile Methodologies, Scrum, Rest, Xml, and 36 others.
