Summary
Dennis Harding is a seasoned software engineer and technical leader with over three decades of experience designing and delivering complex systems across healthcare, finance, and epidemiology domains. He has led cross-functional and distributed teams at Microsoft, Amazon, and Intellectual Ventures, driving high-impact projects from medical device monitoring and payments to disease modeling and HPC-enabled data pipelines. Equally fluent in Windows and open-source stacks, his deep polyglot background (C/C++, C#, Java, Python, F#, Hadoop, GIS tools) has repeatedly translated into performance and reliability gains—often turning multi-day analyses into hours via parallelization and grid/HPC redesigns. As a semi-retired professional now volunteering in emergency management, he combines hands-on engineering with program management and process improvement (Scrum, Six Sigma, PMBOK) to deliver practical, auditable solutions. Notably, he has architected production systems that influenced global health research collaborations and built customer-facing platforms that saved millions through fraud reduction and operational efficiencies. Based in Bothell, WA, he brings rare breadth across embedded, enterprise, and research software with a pragmatic focus on ROI and customer satisfaction.
