Summary
Simon H is a seasoned Computer Science teacher and Python developer with over 20 years in IT and a decade-plus hands-on software experience, including 15 years working across Asia in hospitality, media, printing and education. He combines classroom experience teaching iGCSE and A-Level students with practical industry work—developing a Tkinter-based Python GUI for precision gear design used in drones, submarines and Formula One contexts. His background spans leadership and transformation roles, from hotel C-suite to founding and directing tech projects, giving him a rare mix of strategic, managerial and deep technical perspective. Comfortable across Linux, TDD and full-stack web stacks (Django/Wagtail), he regularly refreshes skills and prefers Python-focused, academically aligned or applied-math computing roles. Known for translating complex engineering concepts into clear, teachable lessons, he also brings experience deploying infrastructure for education (early adopter of Google Apps for Education). Based in the UK, he is open to roles that leverage his teaching strengths alongside practical Python development.
