Hi! 👋

🌎 I'm Ben and I'm a full-stack developer based in Cambridge, UK.

💼 I've extensive commercial experience with TypeScript & JavaScript, Node.js, React (including Next.js) and AWS & Azure.

💻 I'm currently enjoying playing around with AI tooling and LLMs e.g. GitHub CoPilot, OpenRouter, Ollama and Roo Code (a Cline fork).

Projects I've been developing/playing-with in my free time recently include https://www.book-tok.net (see here) and creating a MCP server for the Internet Archive's Open Library that enables AI assistants to search for book and author information (see here).
