Meet the mmob: Edward Harman

Hi Ed! As one of mmob’s Software Engineers Ed talks about our strong team ethos and the future personalisation of fintech.

How did you come to join the mmob?

I graduated with a BEng in Computer Science from the University of York. I then completed an internship for one year in a London-based SaaS company which grew from 8 to 30 people in the time I was there. I joined mmob at the start of February 2021 as a Technical Analyst before becoming a Software Engineer.

What is your favourite thing about working at mmob?

I find the work to be very interesting, and has been since I started! The team are incredibly friendly, and I have enjoyed getting to grips with the technology we are developing. There’s a highly collaborative ethos in the team, which has been greatly productive and allowed me to progress quickly.

What does your job role entail?

I predominantly work on the back-end of the stack and my job is a multi-faceted role working on building APIs, our application, and the overall architecture. I am also responsible for writing up technical documentation.

What are you working towards at the moment?

I am currently implementing a newly revised backend Framework to increase the speed of API development and reduce errors in design.

What do you like to do in your spare time?

I spend a lot of time educating myself on data science. I like to socialise with friends, catching up over a beer or food, and I love to travel. I also enjoy sports, particularly playing tennis, rugby and running.

What do you think the future of fintech looks like?

I think we will soon have ultra-personalised products, which take advantage of machine learning techniques. There will be increased simplicity and ease in setup provided by open banking.

What is the best piece of advice you have received?

Question everything! And remember that all things are difficult before they are easy.
