Hi! I'm Ben, a software engineer with a passion for distributed
systems and infrastructure engineering. I'm currently working on a
startup called Krucible, focused on helping making testing your
Kubernetes infrastructure easy and am based mainly in London,
England.
</p>
<p>
I'm always up for a chat, whether it's to discuss your latest
business idea over a pint or to debate the utility of the latest
JavaScript framework down at the local coffee shop, so feel free to
contact me via any of the means below.

I founded <a href="https://usekrucible.com">Krucible</a>, a
company developing a platform for providing temporary
Kubernetes clusters for testing and development purposes.
The motivation behind Krucible is that testing Kubernetes
is difficult and expensive, in large part due to the
complexity of setting up the necessary surrounding
infrastructure to perform those tests. Krucible handles
that for you, leaving you free to write code and not manage
infrastructure and operations.

At MongoDB I worked on a Kubernetes operator written in Go for <a href="https://www.mongodb.com/products/ops-manager">Ops Manager</a> which allowed customers to create, delete, monitor, backup and otherwise manage MongoDB instances as part of their Kubernetes cluster.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
The operator is available on <a href="https://docs.opsmanager.mongodb.com/current/tutorial/install-k8s-operator/">MongoDB's website</a> and on <a href="https://github.com/mongodb/mongodb-enterprise-kubernetes">Github</a>.

At mLab I mainly worked on an open source system
orchestration platform built on Kubernetes that we called
Lattice. Lattice allowed users to write fully declarative
system definitions to orchestrate large systems at scale.
Lattice handled communicating with cloud providers to
create cloud resources and then create, destroy, scale,
monitor, secure and otherwise administer Kubernetes
clusters in order to achieve the desired specified system
configuration.
</p>
<p>
<strong>
Lattice is available on <a href="https://github.com/mlab-lattice/lattice">Github</a> (though hasn't been maintained since mLab's acquisition by MongoDB).

I worked for CPD for Teachers as a teacher trainer, a content creator and lead web developer. In my capacity as a content creator, I wrote a large number of tutorials, blog posts and worksheets explaining a wide variety of complex tasks. These were used in courses and lesson plans in primary and secondary schools across the country.
</p>
<p>
As a trainer, I travelled around the country teaching primary and secondary school teachers to use complex technologies in their classrooms. The technologies included everything from Python to MIT's App Inventor to the Raspberry Pi.
</p>
<p>
As lead web developer, I led a team to redevelop the company's website from the ground up, including a comprehensive booking system, a mass emailer, a backup system and a content management system. This role also involved managing their large database—which included dozens of trainers, thousands of users, tens of thousands of bookings and every school in England and a significant percentage of the schools in the United States.

I studied Computer Science at the University of Bristol for
four years after which I graduated with a first-class
honours master's degree. I won a number of departmental and
faculty awards in every year, including for the best
third-year project and contributions to the life of the
faculty. I also ran the Computer Science society with
hundreds of members where I organised sponsorship from
companies such as Microsoft and Bank of America and hosted
events and hackathons.
