Hello! I'm Harry.

I'm a software engineer turned entrepreneur. I got into computers young, from my father. I'd watch him build a computer, assembling all the parts and then turning the machine on. It was pure magic.

At university I was torn between animation and computer science. I chose computer science because, in the end, I just love computers.

Computer science led me to UI development, which I adored. UI development led me to a hedge fund (Winton), which I didn't adore. They made me redundant. It was the best thing to happen to me professionally: it pushed me to co-found Forward Digital, a software agency that built for UK government and enterprise clients.

The best thing to happen to me personally came from being self-employed. In 2021 I moved to Berlin on a complete whim. I fell in love, and I learned what it's like to be an immigrant who struggles with the language. That experience is the main reason Lingly exists. I met my co-founder by accident, and now we help thousands of immigrants across the UK improve their English.

I'm back in London for the moment. I dream of living in the Cambrian Mountains in Wales. One of these days.
