Hi, I'm Harrison.

I'm a mathematician with an MS in Mathematical Sciences and BS degrees in Physics and Electrical Engineering, all from Clemson University. I've spent years using math on real engineering problems, and even longer helping people learn it. I started helping classmates in undergrad and never stopped.

The feedback I hear most is "that actually makes sense." I think that's because I don't start with the math. I start with what you're trying to do and what you already know, then build the bridge between them. Textbooks and AI are great at conclusions. The hard part is connecting those conclusions to your work.

I've taught everything from calculus to dynamical systems, to researchers, founders, and working professionals.

"As a mathematician, Harrison has a rare ability to spot patterns, assumptions, and subtle problems others might overlook." — Mario I. Tovar, Jr., Co-Founder and CEO, CCMC Advanced Technologies Inc.

"Working with Harrison was one of the best decisions I've made in my professional career." — Amir Ebrahimi, Staff Quantum Software Engineer, Photonic Inc.

What I believe about this work

  • Understanding beats memorizing. If you can't explain why a method works, you can't fix it when it doesn’t

  • Honest answers are worth more than pleasing ones. Gödel proved math has limits, and I'd rather tell you what it can't do than sell you on something that’s impossible.

Outside of work I play Age of Empires II with friends. I keep trying to make the Italians' hand cannoneers work. It hasn't happened yet, but I don't think 92 games is statistically significant. When I'm avoiding work, I'm tuning my tools: lately a Python workspace in emacs that mirrors Spyder's core features, and a slow move into org mode.
