Robert Tolton
Senior full-stack engineer · Ishikawa, Japan
I build web applications, internal tools, third-party integrations, cloud infrastructure and data pipelines, and have been doing so since 2008 for clients in Japan, the UK and internationally. I'm equally at home in a team or as a sole developer, I like designing tools around how non-technical colleagues actually work, and I use AI coding agents to speed up coding, testing and code review.

I take requirements straight from clients, design tools around the people who use them, and own a system from architecture through to long-term support. Don't see your stack here? Email me and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm a fit.
What I do
Web applications & internal tools
Custom systems, dashboards, tools and front ends designed around how your team actually works, so everyday tasks become quicker and simpler.
Integrations & automation
Connecting the services a business already relies on through APIs and webhooks, so routine work happens automatically instead of by hand.
Cloud & data
Cloud infrastructure, monitoring and long-term upkeep, plus data pipelines and reporting that give teams the answers they need, when they need them.
