▶ Press startStory
I studied computer science at UNSW, then spent my first big chapter at Deputy, building workforce software used by more than 380,000 workplaces around the world — the kind of scale where a small bug ruins a lot of Mondays, and careful engineering is the whole job.
In 2023 London called: a short chapter at epay, a global payments company — a new city, a new codebase, and proof I can land somewhere unfamiliar and contribute fast. Then Deputy asked me back, which is the kind of reference no CV can fake.
Now I’m at Swipejobs, an AI-driven job marketplace, where we ship to production multiple times a day. That cadence only works with serious testing discipline — which happens to be my favourite part of the craft.
Along the way I’ve built websites and web apps for myself and for others. This page is me formalising that: if you need something built for the web, I’m the person to talk to.

B. Computer Science · Sydney · 2017–2020
Learned how software really works, from the metal up — and that shipping something people use beats a perfect grade.
CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, operating systems, databases. First production code shipped in student projects and part-time work.
Software Engineer · Sydney · 2021–2023 · 2023–2026
Built scheduling and workforce features relied on by 380,000+ workplaces worldwide — software that decides when real people start their shift. Two stints: they asked me back.
Large multi-tenant SaaS: JS/PHP across the stack, REST APIs, timezone-aware scheduling logic, and the test suites that keep payroll-adjacent code honest.
Software Engineer · London · May–Jul 2023
A short London chapter at epay, a global payments company — a new city, a new team, a new codebase, and shipping within the first week.
The short-engagement skill: ramping onto an established codebase fast, contributing safely in an unfamiliar domain, leaving things tidier than I found them.
Software Engineer · Sydney · 2026–now
Helping match workers to jobs on an AI-driven marketplace — shipping improvements to production multiple times a day, every day.
React + TypeScript frontends and Node services, continuously deployed: trunk-based dev, feature flags, automated test gates, observability.

Equipped when the job calls for them — scripting, services, and the occasional legacy rescue mission.
Quests accepted
Fast, findable websites that make a small business look as good as it is. Built to load instantly and rank locally.
Something custom — booking, quoting, portals, internal tools. If your business runs on a spreadsheet that hurts, this is the fix.
Your data, visible. Reporting and admin interfaces that turn “can you pull those numbers?” into a URL.
Online stores that are quick, trustworthy and easy to run — without drowning in platform fees or plugins.
A free, no-jargon conversation about what you need and whether I'm the right person to build it.
A fixed, written scope: what gets built, what it costs, when it lands. No surprises invoiced later.
Short cycles with a weekly check-in — you see real progress on a real URL every week, not a big reveal at the end.
Deployed, documented and handed over properly. You own the code, the domain and the accounts. I stay reachable.
Mostly I build for businesses — but if you’re here about contract work or a full-time role, the door is just as open. Same form, different topic dropdown.
Talk to the developer

Tell me what you’re after and how you’d like to be reached. No email addresses harvested from this page — this form is the whole front door, and I answer it myself.
A looping pixel-art skit: a client says he needs a website, and Harrison answers that he has found the right guy — press send.
