Summary
Richard Harper is a consultant software engineer based in Manchester with over 17 years’ experience designing and delivering web, mobile and desktop systems, APIs, integrations and portals for public and private sector clients. He combines hands-on development and architecture skills across the Microsoft stack and Azure, with a track record of introducing best practices like TDD, DI and scalable plug-in architectures on long-running programmes. As Director of Red33 and a senior engineer at organisations such as Veolia, Capgemini and Fujitsu, he’s delivered field-worker mobile solutions, provisioning engines and enterprise integration using technologies like WCF, BizTalk and ASP.NET MVC. Pragmatic and self-motivated, he thrives in geographically diverse teams and often bridges delivery and consultancy roles, having taken direct responsibility for both solution design and client-facing implementation.
