About
The Short Version
Full-stack engineer with a knack for understanding how all the pieces fit together. I specialize in SwiftUI, Vue.js, and Laravel, building software that's both powerful and maintainable.
The Longer Story
My journey began as an intern web developer at Hurstpierpoint College, where I discovered that the real magic happens when you understand both what users need and how systems actually work. From building registration systems handling 1000+ students daily to architecting serverless video infrastructure, each role has deepened my appreciation for holistic solutions.
Today at Tillo, I work on the Partners and API team where I've helped improve API performance by 20% and build secure payment integrations. Whether it's refactoring webhook services for extensibility or debugging Kubernetes pod issues, I approach each challenge with systematic thinking and genuine curiosity.

What Drives Me
- Understanding the whole picture – Best solutions come from seeing how all parts connect
- Clean, maintainable code – Software should be a joy to work with
- User-centric development – Technical excellence must serve real needs
- Continuous learning – Technology evolves, and so should we
What Colleagues Say
Henry is an exceptional colleague... his expertise in providing well-considered design feedback is invaluable. Collaborating with him is truly rewarding, as he encourages you to think holistically, recognising how even a single change can significantly influence other aspects of a product/feature in development.
