He Builds It.
Then He Ships It.

ABOVE: Andrew Robertson, Manchester 2026.

MANCHESTER ‐ Robertson is a final-year computer science student at the University of Manchester who has spent the past three years building software in parallel to his degree ‐ not as a side project, but as the main event.

He builds to solve things he finds annoying or interesting. If the result is useful to others, it becomes a product. If it wins a competition, that is a bonus.

Before university, he was awarded Gold in the UK Senior Mathematical Challenge ‐ an early sign of the same instinct he brings to engineering: find the most direct path to the answer and do not overcomplicate it.

In January 2026, at ICHack ‐ Imperial College London’s annual hackathon ‐ Robertson’s team built and shipped a working emergency AI voice pipeline from scratch in under 24 hours. It won. The project, 911-auto-call, is on GitHub.

His work covers full-stack web, AI pipelines, and open-source tooling. He is currently looking for what comes next.

Chromeflow: Claude’s Hands in the Browser

By Andrew Robertson  ·   ·  Open Source

MANCHESTER ‐ Chromeflow is an open-source tool that gives Claude Code the ability to operate a web browser. When a project requires setting up Stripe, fetching API keys from Supabase, or configuring any third-party service through a web interface, Chromeflow takes over the browser work automatically.

It is built as two components working together: an MCP server that gives Claude a set of browser tools ‐ open_page, click_element, fill_input, read_element, write_to_env ‐ and a Chrome extension that receives those commands and acts on the active tab. Claude navigates, highlights steps, clicks what it can, and writes any captured values directly to the project’s .env file.

The user only touches the browser for things that genuinely require a human: login credentials, passwords, payment details, personal choices. Everything else is handled.

Setup takes one command from the project directory: npx chromeflow setup. This registers the MCP server, writes a CLAUDE.md into the project so Claude knows when and how to use it, and pre-approves the browser tools so there are no per-action permission prompts.

Chromeflow is open source and available on GitHub. It requires Claude Code, Chrome, and Node.js 22 or later.

Looking for Something More

Staff Writer  ·  March 2026  ·  Manchester

MANCHESTER ‐ Robertson is the kind of person who fixes things before being asked. A final-year CS student at Manchester, he has been building seriously for three years, shipping products that people actually use rather than projects that sit on GitHub.

The pattern started early. At school, Robertson was awarded Gold in the UK Senior Mathematical Challenge. At university, he ran through the interview processes of some of the most selective firms in the country ‐ Jane Street, The Trade Desk, Optiver. He got further than most students do. It was not enough for him.

Chromeflow exists because browser setup steps were tedious. Vantage exists because competitor tracking was too manual. 911-auto-call won ICHack 2026 ‐ Imperial College London’s annual hackathon ‐ because the team built a working emergency AI voice pipeline in under 24 hours and it simply worked better than anything else there.

He does not talk much about methodology. He picks a problem, writes the code, and ships it.

“I hit the limit of what I could get. I want something more.”

Robertson has recently begun founding in earnest. He describes himself, without apparent irony, as the most ambitious person he has ever met. His next step is finding people who can say the same.

He is open to new roles, collaborations, and ideas worth starting.
