We are also delighted to announce Rob Moffat to the team, based outside of London in Colchester, U.K. Over the last twenty years, he has worked at many of the top-tier investment banks in London on regulatory and transformation IT projects. Most recently he has been an advocate for the Symphony platform and the transformational capabilities of chat bots within finance.Rob is a staunch advocate of Open Source and works on many open source projects, including the FINOS "Spring Bot" project which he built and contributed whilst working at Deutsche Bank.Rob holds a Computer Science degree and an MBA and is the author of "Risk-First Software Development"
Rob will be growing the technical footprint of the FINOS team, playing a key role in supporting our community towards an ever more efficient and productive open source development lifecycle, while continuing to remove hurdles that developers in financial institutions face in their OSS engagement. Rob is already engaging in flagship projects like Legend and FDC3, which, together with his deep Symphony ecosystem experience, have the potential to support true industry wide workflows across data, interop and identity.
