Mitch Harpur

As an electrical engineer, Mitch Harpur started his career doing military control system software and simulators for the South African Defense Force. This work led him to the world of distributed system software on several platforms, and became immersed, for good or for worse, in the several different approaches and technologies that were gaining traction in the mid to late 90’s. From this strange mix emerged an interest and passion for excellence on the Microsoft stack of technologies, especially those with a Web focus.

Today, Mitch is a Senior Consultant at Wintellect with over 17 years’ experience with a variety of computing technologies. He is passionate about the emergence and widespread adoption HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS as a platform for quality software and a compelling user experience.
