Robert Smallshire

Robert has been working with Python for 25 years in the energy and ed-tech sectors, understanding, designing, advocating and implementing effective architectures for sophisticated scientific, enterprise and media production software in Python. He believes in the necessity of a strong engineering culture and enjoys performing the coaching and training necessary to achieve one, while being deliberate with the many and complex trade-offs involved in delivering complex – but not complicated – systems. His most recent venture is with video content production systems, largely implemented in Python. Over the last decade, Robert’s Python training courses on Pluralsight have often been in the top-five most popular and have accumulated 1.9 million hours of view time and reached over 1 million paying subscribers. He is co-author of The Python Apprentice, The Python Journeyman, and The Python Master trilogy.
