About Me

A bit about who I am and what I do.

Harry Wright

I'm Harry, an iOS engineer based in the UK. I specialise in building native iOS applications with Swift and UIKit, with a strong focus on clean architecture, smooth animations, and pixel-perfect interfaces.

My current focus is Perdiem, a social finance app that lets friends share and react to each other's purchases. I built it from scratch using a custom MVC architecture with manual frame-based layout — no Auto Layout, no storyboards.

Beyond iOS, I enjoy working across the stack. I built Perdiem's backend with Bun and Hono, and this very site with Next.js and React. I believe the best engineers are versatile, even if they have a primary craft.

When I'm not writing code, you'll likely find me exploring new technologies, reading about software architecture, or working on side projects that scratch a creative itch.
