01
Custom web applications
Product builds from an empty repository through to a deployed, monitored application — data model, interface, server and release pipeline treated as one piece of work.
Engineering partner
Software built to specification.
Harvey Software Solutions designs, builds and maintains custom software for founders taking a product from concept to production — web applications, integrations, and the internal systems an operation depends on.

Section I — Capabilities
Five areas of practice
Engagements are scoped individually. Most begin with a discovery workshop and a written specification.
02
Business process automation
Manual, repeated administration replaced with monitored workflows. Approvals, notifications, document generation and scheduled data movement between the tools already in use.
03
Internal tools and registers
Systems of record for the parts of a business a spreadsheet has outgrown — asset registers, training matrices, compliance logs and scheduling, with role-based access and reporting.
04
Systems integration and APIs
Interfaces between systems that were never designed to speak to one another, and documented APIs for the systems you own — specified, versioned and tested against real payloads.
05
Consulting and discovery workshops
A short, fixed-fee engagement to establish what should be built before committing a budget to building it. Concludes with a written specification and an estimate you may take anywhere.
Section II — Approach
Four stages, each with a deliverable you can hold
-
Stage 01
Discovery
Sessions with the people who will use the system, mapping the process as it runs today and where it costs you time.
Output — process map
-
Stage 02
Specification
Scope, data model, interfaces and acceptance criteria written down and agreed, with a fixed estimate against them.
Output — specification, estimate
-
Stage 03
Build
Delivered in reviewable increments on a staging environment, so the first time you see the system is not the day it goes live.
Output — working increments
-
Stage 04
Handover and support
Source, credentials and documentation transferred to you, with an optional support arrangement rather than a dependency.
Output — documentation, access
Section III — Technology
Chosen for the problem, not the fashion
Every tool below is one used in delivered work. Where an existing Microsoft 365 estate makes the Power Platform the sensible answer, that is what is recommended.
- Languages
- JavaScript · TypeScript · Python · Go · C · C# · SQL
- Frameworks
- React · Node.js · Express · Flask · Django · React Native
- Data
- PostgreSQL · MongoDB · Dataverse
- Platforms
- Microsoft Power Platform — Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI
- Specialist
- Unity — interactive and AR/VR builds · Low-level systems work in C
Section IV — About
portrait — principal
A single accountable engineer, not an account manager
Harvey Software Solutions is the practice of Benjamin Harvey, a software developer with commercial experience delivering business systems on the Microsoft Power Platform alongside full-stack web development. The work spans real-time applications, secure authentication services, internal registers and reporting.
The practice is deliberately small. You speak to the person writing the software, scope is agreed in writing before work begins, and everything built is handed over in a state another engineer could pick up.
