Hi, I am Brent Harrison

Brent Harrison

Senior Consultant at Sourced Group

I am an experienced Cloud Consultant with 6 years of working experience. I have led projects to deploy mission-critical, regulated enterprise applications into AWS, Azure & GCP.

I particularly enjoy projects where I can teach others whilst learning new skills/concepts myself. I’m currently learning Golang, the most recent AWS service I learnt & deployed was Global Accelerator, and I just flashed my robot vacuum cleaner’s firmware.
