Rob Chapman

Rob Chapman is a creative IT engineer and founder at The Melt Cafe, with two decades of experience in the full application life cycle. Working over the years for companies such as the Environment Agency, BT Global Services, Microsoft, and Grafana, Rob has built a wealth of experience on large complex systems. More than anything, Rob loves saving energy, time, and money and has a track record for bringing production-related concerns forward so that they are addressed earlier in the development cycle, when they are cheaper and easier to solve. In his spare time, Rob is a Scout leader, and he enjoys hiking, climbing, and, most of all, spending time with his family and six children.
