Hi everyone! I’m a Senior Developer Advocate on the Developer Relations “DevX” team here at Confluent.

I’m based in Yorkshire, UK, and love working with Apache Kafka and Confluent Platform 🙂 Before joining Confluent I worked as a consultant in the data & analytics space, which is how I found my way into Kafka (back when it was a curiosity in Hadoop stack that everyone was so excited about)

I’ve been a speaker since 2009, at conferences including QCon, Devoxx, Strata, Kafka Summit, and Øredev. You can find many of my talks online at [Talks](http://rmoff.net/talks/)

I love blogging, which you can read at [Articles from Robin Moffatt | Confluent Blog](http://cnfl.io/rmoff) and [http://rmoff.net/](http://rmoff.net/). I’ve also started making YouTube videos (thanks to 🦠 lockdown!) so make sure you head to [https://www.youtube.com/rmoff](https://www.youtube.com/rmoff) and subscribe 🙂

Outside of work, I enjoy [🏃‍♂️running](https://www.strava.com/athletes/10250052/), 🍺 [drinking good beer](https://untappd.com/user/rmoff), and 🍽 [eating fried breakfasts](https://twitter.com/search?q=from%3Armoff%20fullenglish&src=spelling_expansion_revert_click&f=live)—although generally not at the same time.
