Rob splits his time between free contracts that will teach him new things, and paid work for his company AshtonDev Ltd where he helps companies with their C#, NodeJS and mobile development in general. When not learning or working, he can be found building awful games in JavaScript for the sheer joy of it. At weekends you'll not find him because he isn't here anymore.
