About Harper

I have spent sixteen years mentoring more than 610 programming students, many of whom now hold senior positions as staff engineers, architects, and technical leads at major technology companies. My professional background includes a long career as a principal software architect at a global technology firm where I designed systems handling billions of transactions. I hold a master's degree in computer science and have published technical papers on distributed systems and software architecture. My students have joined startups, founded companies, and led engineering teams across the technology industry. I am particularly skilled at helping experienced developers make the transition to architectural and leadership roles. My teaching is characterised by high standards, professional honesty, and deep technical expertise. I maintain extensive materials, including architectural decision records, system design exercises, and case studies from my industry career. Outside of teaching, I advise technology companies on architecture, participate in standards organisations, and mentor engineering leaders. I believe that great software is built on great architecture, and I am committed to training the next generation of technical leaders who will build the systems of tomorrow.

About the lesson

My programming teaching is architecturally focused, preparing students for senior technical roles that require system design and strategic thinking. I teach distributed computing principles, including consensus algorithms, distributed transactions, message queues, and microservices architecture with the depth required for building scalable systems. System design is taught through case studies of real platforms where students learn to analyse requirements, model data flows, and make trade-offs between consistency, availability, and partition tolerance. I emphasise the non-functional aspects of software, including scalability, reliability, security, and maintainability that distinguish professional systems from student projects. Database design is taught at the architectural level, covering sharding, replication, indexing strategies, and polyglot persistence. For students preparing for technical leadership roles, I offer mentorship in code review practices, technical documentation, team communication, and project estimation. I also teach the fundamentals of DevOps, including infrastructure as code, containerisation, and continuous deployment. Every student works on a substantial design project that demonstrates their ability to architect a system from requirements to deployment. My sessions are intellectually demanding and professionally oriented.
