Android engineer @Starling Bank

 
Teresa is an Android engineer at Starling Bank. She wasn’t always an engineer.

Lately she’s been involved in building new features for the Android application at Starling Bank and enjoys implementing new ideas quickly.

As CEO at Skipjaq, Rob Harrop leads a team working on the cutting edge of machine-driven performance optimisation.

Rob is well known as a co-founder of SpringSource, the software company behind the wildly-successful Spring Framework. At SpringSource he was a core contributor to the Spring Framework and led the team that built dm Server (now Eclipse Virgo). Prior to SpringSource, Rob was (at the age of 19) co-founder and CTO at Cake Solutions, a boutique consultancy in Manchester, UK. A respected author, speaker and teacher, Rob writes and talks frequently about large-scale systems, cloud architecture and functional programming.
