Hi, I’m Ben! I’m a software engineer at Starling Bank, currently living in London. If I’m not at my computer, you can probably find me at the gym, reading, or playing saxophone 🎷

Projects

Here are some of the things I’ve made:

• insync is a smart playlist generator for Spotify
• lettucewatch is a real-time, collaborative movie picker for friends
• instapaper-ts is a TypeScript client for the Instapaper API
• marks is a custom frontend for Instapaper, powered by instapaper-ts!

You can see more of my projects on my GitHub :)

Blog

I sometimes write stuff, and would like to write more. If you’d like to read any of it, check out my blog!
