01 / About

A quick introduction.

Hey there! My name is Harvey Delaney. I'm currently working at Amazon Web Services in Seattle. I relocated from Sydney in October 2023, and was promoted to Senior Front End Engineer in July 2022.

I'm a full-stack engineer with a strong preference for front-end development. I pride myself on writing clean, readable, testable and extensible code. Outside of work, I am always looking to learn new frameworks, libraries and programming languages. I also maintain a technical blog where I document my approach to solving technical problems I've encountered throughout my career.
