I’m Robert Bowden. I live in Manchester, where I design the future.

Greetings! I am a dedicated Senior Software Engineer with a decade's worth of experience crafting innovative software solutions. My fascination with technology began in the corridors of high school, where I was first introduced to the world of programming through MIT's Scratch. This initial exposure to the elegance of code sparked a pursuit of knowledge that has driven my career ever since.

Following high school, I pursued a BTEC Level 2 in Information Technology, then advanced my studies with a BTEC Level 3 in Computing at college. My academic journey culminated in a BSc Computer Science degree from a respected university, where I graduated with first-class honours. During this formative period, I dedicated three years to mastering the intricacies of web development, gaining proficiency in languages such as Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript, along with a diverse range of associated frameworks.

The synthesis of my educational background and practical experience empowered me to develop 'Miniflash', an innovative language learning application. This project allowed me to merge my dual passions for modern foreign languages and computer science, bringing to life a tool that facilitates intuitive language acquisition through cutting-edge software design. Presently, my professional interests lie in exploring the potential of Natural Language Processing and delving into the mechanics of Large Language Models.

My aim is to harness these advanced technologies to break down linguistic barriers and enhance communication. As I look to the future, I seek opportunities to contribute to forward-thinking teams and projects where I can apply my extensive skills and continue to evolve as an engineer and technology enthusiast.
