About

Hello! My name is Robert Harrison, and I’m a software engineer with 15+ years of experience building and shipping production native Apple-platform apps, across media, fintech, and health.

I specialize in complex, media-rich, and data-driven products where performance, reliability, and UX all matter. My background includes video editing and playback, financial workflows, and health-focused applications.

I’m currently a Co-Founder at Finance AI, where I lead iOS development for Thrive, an AI-driven personal finance advisor app. Previously, I was a software engineer at GoPro, where I served as lead engineer for video playback, editing, and export on the Quik macOS project. Earlier in my career, I developed award-winning mobile apps for the University of San Diego and founded my own consultancy, RWH Technology, where I continue to build and advise on native Apple-platform software.

I graduated from the University of Regina with a B.Sc. in Computer Science and a M.A.Sc. in Electronic Systems Engineering.

I’m based in San Diego, California, where I live with my wife and our two Boston Terriers. Outside of work, I enjoy stand-up paddle boarding, hiking, skiing and cooking.
