Joey Harwood

Senior Engineer & Big Data Specialist

Joey is a lifelong problem solver. He fell in love with math at a young age and eventually found his way to programming as an even more intriguing puzzle. A graduate of Colby College with a B.A. in Computer Science, his career started building Android applications. He moved onto designing and optimizing big data tables housing terabytes of data, minimizing query costs while answering complex business questions using statistical analysis.

Outside of work you’ll often find Joey exploring new strategies to excel in local pinball tournaments or lost down a rabbit hole of YouTube videos taking a deep dive into the wonders of the cosmos. Just as likely, he is with his wife wrestling, chasing, training, or otherwise spending time with their two dogs.
