Hi, I'm Edward Hardison III — I build Harditainment.
I'm a developer based in Nashville, TN, currently studying Electrical & Computer Engineering at Tennessee State University. Harditainment is my freelance studio for website and application development — I like projects where I own the problem end to end, from a client's first idea through a working, shipped product.
My background isn't a straight line through computer science — it runs through engineering coursework, hands-on simulation research, campaign tech work, and self-taught software projects. That mix means I tend to focus as much on whether something actually works for the people using it as on the code itself.

How I work
Every project starts with a written quote outlining scope, timeline, and price before any work begins, followed by a deposit and milestone-based payments. I keep clients updated with regular check-ins and a working preview throughout the build rather than a single reveal at the end. See Services & Pricing for how that breaks down.
