Hey, my name is Harry I’m a software tester/developer with a passion for solving problems and building robust, accessible applications. I’ve worked in customer service, where I learned the value of clear communication, empathy, and teamwork, all of which I bring to every project. Since studying at Dev Academy I’ve expanded my skills in web development, testing, and DevOps concepts, and I’m eager to apply these in a real-world role. I enjoy learning alongside others, helping teammates, and delivering quality work that makes a positive impact. When I'm not busy doing that though, I like to do a bit of voice acting/voiceover work, writing and editing, as I'm exceedingly passionate about them, and would greatly appreciate the chance to hone these skills further.
