Hi, I'm Harry. I build custom software applications for large companies. Reach out if you would like to chat!

My Story

From the age of 10, I have been obsessed with Apple products. In 2014 I took A-level Computing and received an award for achieving the highest coursework grade. During the summer of my A-levels, I enrolled in a web developer bootcamp course. This is when I discovered building websites could provide real value.

I then studied BSc Computer Science (first) and MSc Data Science (distinction) at Lancaster University. During the summer of my second year at university, I developed and sold a timesheet system to a large architecture practice. After university, I worked as a hybrid Software Engineer/Data Scientist for a large chemical consultancy for 2 years.

Following this, I redesigned and scaled my original timesheet system into a complete project management system using a modern tech stack. And that leads us to today!

When I'm not working I enjoy running, going to the gym, playing Dead by Daylight, or working on a side project :)
