Hey there!
I'm Harley Watson
(it/she)
 
 
 
 
 

I'm inspired by the intersection between computers and our physical world; often spending my evenings researching embedded devices πŸ“±, home automation πŸ€–, payment technologies πŸ’³, public transportation πŸšƒ, and security UX πŸ”

I've been a Software Engineer at Skyscanner since 2017, working on deployment orchestration, secure development lifecycle tooling, modernising our marketplace payment platform, and migrating legacy article content systems.

I served as Secretary for the Abertay Ethical Hacking Society during the 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 academic terms, taking on responsibility for the society's technical infrastructure and assisting in Securi-Tay's organisation.

I'm a proud immigrant- I live in Glasgow after studying Ethical Hacking at Abertay University in Dundee; I grew up in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic; and am privileged to call Southern California's Orange County my birthplace.
