How do you do, I'm Harry. Entrepreneur and product engineer based in London.

When I moved to Berlin and worked there for 3 years, I realised no amount of Duolingo prepared me to handle a job interview or hold my own in a meeting with my manager. Language learning is broken for anyone whose career depends on it.

Now I'm building Lingly ↗, an AI English learning platform for jobseekers in the UK. People who need English to get back to work, but sit on a waitlist for 18 months.

Previously: co-founded and exited a consultancy (clients included DSIT and NCSC), shipped code at a $13bn hedge fund.

Over a million people in the UK can't speak English well enough to work. Traditional classrooms have 6–18 month waitlists and no real workplace focus. We built Lingly to fix that.

Lingly is AI-powered English training for jobseekers; built around the actual language they need, available on their phone from day one.

Co-founded a digital consultancy delivering high-impact projects for the UK government and music-tech startups. Reached £20k in monthly revenue and successfully transitioned ownership to my co-founder via a buyout.

Shipped production code for post-trade flows, the institutional investor portal, and the public-facing website at a $13bn quantitative hedge fund.
