Stony Stratford, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
SeniorScott Harrison is a pragmatic engineering leader with 11 years of hands-on web and backend experience, now serving as Head of Development at VAFO Digital after leading greenfield, high-traffic headless e-commerce projects. He’s comfortable across the full stack—PHP/Laravel, Node.js/TypeScript, MySQL/MongoDB, AWS and modern front-end frameworks like Vue and React—and has a strong track record shipping secure, maintainable systems for clients including IBM, Hiscox and Deloitte. Scott combines day-to-day coding (microservices, migrations, APIs) with architectural planning, mentoring and roadmap ownership, having built and scaled new teams from scratch. His background stretches from ColdFusion and legacy SQL Server systems to modern headless commerce platforms like CommerceTools and Shopify, giving him a practical edge when migrating legacy data and systems. He’s equally at home in dev-ops tasks across LAMP/Nginx stacks and leveraging managed cloud services to solve operational challenges. Outside the obvious tech breadth, Scott’s early apprenticeship and long history of mentoring junior developers inform a hands-on, coach-first leadership style.
