PyCon UK 2025

Harry Percival

After an idyllic childhood spent playing with BASIC on French 8-bit computers whose keys go "boop" when you press them, Harry spent a few years in the wilderness of Economics and Powerpoint, before rediscovering his true geek nature in the late aughts. He was lucky enough to fall in with a bunch of XP fanatics, working on the pioneering but sadly defunct Resolver One python-spreadsheet. Since then he has since written two books, one on TDD and one on software architecture patterns. He currently works at Kraken Technologies, an offshot of green energy retailer Octopus Energy.
