Hi, I’m Harry!

I’m a Bristol-based tech recruiter who’s learning to code. I’m currently working with Revoco, where I am working with some amazing start-ups and helping to scale their technical teams. I’ve been in the world of talent acquisition for the last 4 1/2 years, where I’ve specialised in creating and implementing talent acquisition strategies.

I’ve always had a huge interest in tech. So, when the world went a bit nuts in 2020, I capitalised on my extra time at home and began my coding journey. I started by taking Harvard’s CS50 Intro to Computer Science course and later took Colt Steele’s ‘Web Developer Bootcamp’. I’m currently working with JavaScript, Node.js, MongoDB, HTML & CSS, as well as learning React.

Things that I love: coding, rugby, reading, cooking, learning new things, cycling, fitness, podcasts, tech.

Interested to know what I am reading? You can find me on Literal.
