Meet the Team - Robert Morgan

Writer's picture: Robert Morgan Robert Morgan

Meet Robert, one of our talented Senior Software Developers here at KUDO. With a deep passion for the industry, Robert plays a key role in guiding our development team to achieve outstanding results. We took some time to ask him about himself and what led him to the role he’s in today.

 

How did you get into this industry?

I was always interested in software development. I first started playing with QuickBASIC when I was around twelve years old, then at university I spent a while doing Project Euler problems in Python (although it’s embarrassing to look back at my solutions now!).


After university, I became an ESL teacher and wrote interactive games which my students could use to practise in class and at home. Therefore, when I decided to leave the ESL industry, it seemed that becoming a software developer was a natural choice.

 

What is an after-work hobby of yours?

I am a proud member of the Alloa Round Table, a group for young men focused on building connections, having fun and giving back to the community. We meet regularly as a social group, but also spare some time to raise money and run community events.


Last year we raised more than £30,000, which was distributed to local initiatives in and around Clackmannanshire!

 

What is a fun fact about you?

Over the past 10 years, I’ve lived in Japan, South Korea, and China.

In Japan, I was on a working holiday, teaching English and working in a restaurant. In South Korea, I was a 4th-year student working on a project in a thin-film oxide lab, and in China, I started as an ESL teacher, which led to managing a school with over 200 students.

 

What do you enjoy most about working for KUDO?

As a new company, work at KUDO is fast paced and exciting. Things change rapidly as we get to know our customers, and it’s fun to be a part of that.

 

What career advice would you give someone wanting to be in your role?

The most important thing is to love what you do; Software development, like any skill, takes time.

 

What’s an accomplishment in or out of work you’re proud of?

As part of the Alloa Round Table I am coordinator for the Alloa fireworks event, Sparks in the Park.


This year was my first time running the event and we had an attendance of around 4000 people. We aim to keep the event as fun and affordable as possible – it’s a lot of work but it’s rewarding to know that so many people got to enjoy the show.
