ben // onboard companionHi. I'm Ben. I live down here now.

I build systems that know when not to trust themselves.

Full-stack and AI engineer, currently orbiting Dublin. I ship production software, then spend just as long proving it's actually reliable before I let anyone near it, myself included.

Waypoint 01 · Approach

How I actually work, no mission statement fluff.

01 · Build first, trust never

Shipping is the easy part. Every project gets a real evaluation layer, not a gut feeling, that tells me exactly how much to trust its own output before anyone else has to.

02 · Test what should break

I build adversarial cases specifically to make my own systems fail, so the failures show up on my desk, not on a stranger's screen at 2am.

Your Senior
production · live

A production agentic AI platform built end to end, alone. LangChain orchestration, a RAG pipeline over ChromaDB, and a three-tier confidence-gating evaluation layer that explicitly declines to answer when retrieved evidence falls below a calibrated threshold, rather than guessing.

Ubuntu Cloud Image Configuration Tool
production · open source

A Linux automation CLI that replaced a manual, multi-step provisioning process with a single command. Hermetic subprocess mocking means the test suite runs the same way every time, on any machine, in any orbit.

Health Insurance Full-Stack Application

An end-to-end insurance management application, tested against real validated record volume, with zero defects found across a 200-record audit. Boring in the best way.
