Testimonials

What clients say

Ben is a very professional, highly responsive and honest service provider. I highly recommend him for his services. Nothing was too hard for him, and the cost for his services is very good for the value provided.

Website maintenance · WordPress

It was a pleasure working with Ben in creating Diode Yang. Ben quickly got the tone of what I was trying to do and ran with my ideas to create the perfect environment for my work. I found Ben easy to work with. He's affable and agreeable and contactable, which made the workflow go really easy.

Graham M, Diode Yang

Music showcase website · Wix

Ben helped me build our new website and social media presence. His expertise, and collaborative nature resulted in a fantastic outcome for our business. We are very pleased, and would thoroughly recommend his services to other small businesses. Thanks Ben!

Chris B, Autism Oasis

Website and social media · WordPress

He was very thorough in his research as the problems were not so straightforward and offered many ideas on how to deal with each issue. Throughout the whole process Ben took the time to explain everything to me plainly… He also provided me with a document outlining and explaining the steps he took to resolve the problems with some helpful links and tips for future improvements. I couldn't be happier with the results.

Viktoria H, Soongbae

We're very grateful for Ben and the ongoing work he has provided for us and our business. He has been instrumental in providing back-end support for our platform, whilst also assisting with research and optimisation of our platform to allow it to operate even better. He is patient, reliable and knowledgable and has been a huge help for us. We've enjoyed working alongside Ben and would highly recommend!

Sarah Q, Canine Calm Walks

React web app and mobile app

Ben has an attention to detail and high communication level second to none. Ben was able to get on top of the tasks provided whilst updating me throughout the process. Having screen grabs allowed me to follow along and this is something I've never had done before and is considered very professional.

About

I used to measure things. Now I create them.

Ben C in a blue shirt and jeans, leaning against a concrete column

Before becoming a developer, I spent 15 years in research. I was a University Medallist in theoretical physics, co-authored early LIGO gravitational-wave publications, and spent a decade as a statistical methodologist at the Australian Bureau of Statistics, later leading survey processing for the 2016 Census Post-Enumeration Survey, the study that confirmed the Census data could be trusted after that year's outage.

That background shows up in my development work. Measurement became data analysis. Survey design became user-centred UX. And delegating technical work became directing AI coding agents.

Today I build, deploy and maintain production software, from medtech and fintech platforms to small-business websites, working directly with clients from first prototype to production support. I hold a Graduate Diploma in Computing (Software Engineering & Web Development) from ANU.

How I work with AI

I use Claude Code and AI coding agents every day, the way a lead uses a capable team: I set direction, break down the work, review everything, and stay accountable for what goes live. This site was built that way.

Open to employment, contract or freelance work, full or part time. I still help small businesses with their websites, too.
