Top SchoolHarrison South is a Senior Backend Engineer with 11 years’ experience building and scaling production services across healthcare, enterprise networking, and startup environments. Currently at Oxford Dynamics, he previously led the in-housing and scaling of a gym booking API at Nuffield Health that handled traffic spikes of about one million requests in five minutes. His background spans Python/Django, C++ (gRPC), React-Native integrations, and CI/CD and pipeline engineering from his time maintaining Jenkins-based release infrastructure at Cisco. He has a practical knack for turning research prototypes into maintainable systems—demonstrated by ML experimentation and data analysis work—and for introducing testing and coding standards across teams.

Outside immediate job titles, he brings a history of data migration and synchronization projects that highlight careful systems thinking and pragmatic problem-solving.
