About me
Hi β I'm Ben,
I have a degree in music education, I used to be a teacher, and now I write programs.
In my free time, I build things that are quietly useful. Tools that you forget that you use until you miss them. I also like to play around with game development every now and then.
This site is a portfolio, a brand, and a blog all in one.
Nothing is final. Everything is honest.
I specialize in building Flutter mobile apps and systems level tools (utilities, daemons, etc.), but I do genuinely enjoy programming, so I'm always open to trying something different. Who knows, that might be a good way to get a nice discount since I'd be less experienced at that thing...
However, the main benefit I have to offer is a complete lack of administrative overhead. In human terms, that means that there are no layers to navigate and no corporate hierarchy to slow things down.
Itβs a direct line from you to me β no waiting for approvals and no delegating tasks across a huge team (so no standups). Just a simple process where your request turns into results without anything getting lost in translation.
