What people I've worked with say
“To describe you in two simple words Ben would be ‘World Class’. … Needless to say, very few people could have made the impact you have over the last couple of years.”
“You have been absolutely pivotal in developing our DevOps practices, standards, and overall function success. Wherever you go next will be extremely fortunate to have you onboard.”
“Ben played a pivotal role in setting infrastructure as code standards and deployment processes, allowing my team of engineers to focus on application code and in turn create their own supporting infrastructure. This helped speed up delivery and also led to smooth deployments to a production environment.”
“Ben supported my team on the implementation of a data lake and was invaluable in getting pipelines built at pace. … He has great attention to detail, which was much appreciated, especially when it comes to PRs where he’s able to review the infrastructure and application code together and spot issues early.”
“Ben has the great ability of being able to cater information to his audience. Able to go into the great detail needed when discussing technical solutions, and also zoom out and provide enough steer to help inform senior stakeholders of potential options and solutions and their impact. … A real class act.”
“Ben … was invaluable in providing technical leadership around the standards and processes of deploying Terraform code in their environment. He provided guidance where required to ensure that the code released was of high quality while maintaining the required velocity to meet the hard business deadlines.”
“Ben was an utter joy to work with. … His sessions took really complicated ideas and broke them down into easy to understand concepts. They were universally loved and often Ben would be asked to run them for technical teams, they were that good.”
Why teams call me
“We want AI on our own systems and data, without the risk.”
Chatbots and MCP servers that reach only what they should, in one organisation or across every client on a multi-tenant platform, and ship like the rest of your code.
Contract delivery“Our flagship programme is close to failing, and the platform is holding it back.”
Enterprise quality standards and developer self-service, which took a multi-million-pound programme from near failure to releasing up to twelve times a day.
Contract delivery“Our AWS accounts grew by hand, and nobody trusts them.”
One organisation in code, with every environment kept apart and guardrails every account inherits.
Platform foundation“Nobody can say who has access to what.”
One sign-in with short sessions, and access that changes only by reviewed pull request.
Platform foundation“We have a prototype, and no engineering team to take it to production.”
A Principal Consultant who builds the platform, and the standards your team works to, from nothing.
Contract delivery“Releases are slow, and every one is a risk.”
CI/CD and release standards that make shipping routine.
