Ben Butler-Cole
Director of Engineering
Ben runs the software delivery teams at the Bennett Institute. He has spent the last two decades looking for imaginative ways to build software without unnecessarily increasing the number of lines of code at large in the world. When all else fails he likes to write code in languages that haven’t been designed to hurt him. Before joining the team, Ben led a team building Neo4j Aura, a graph database-as-a-service.
