Hey, I'm Rob Haynes
Data Engineer from South Africa based in Manchester working for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR)

About Me
Data & Software Engineering for 8 Years
By day I'm untangling terabytes of automotive data into pipelines JLR's engineers can actually trust; by night I'm usually knee-deep in a side project that has no real business existing — a school-project blockchain, a betting arbitrage bot, an app that tells a boarding school what's for lunch. I like software that's a little bit weird and a lot reliable, and I'm at my happiest turning a fuzzy idea into something people can click, poke, and (hopefully) enjoy. Equal parts data engineer, full-stack tinkerer, and professional overthinker of edge cases.
