Top SchoolHarrison Shoebridge is a Senior Software Engineer based in Melbourne with 11 years of hands-on experience building full-stack and backend systems, now advancing product engineering at Canva.

Comfortable across front-end UX improvements, build-system migrations, and core engine refactors, he has a track record of turning educational tooling and community projects into polished, maintainable code. Notably, his work often focuses on developer-facing improvements (install flows, tooling, filters) that quietly raise adoption and usability for broader communities.
