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 marks!
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!
