I'm Ben. 
Two-time SaaS founder and Platform CTO.
I turn technical depth into products that earn their keep.

ZoomShift is an employee scheduling and time tracking platform born out of firsthand experience with restaurant scheduling.

Tailwind Creative

A software consultancy that took on a little bit of everything. Work included a growth-marketing community built and run for HubSpot founder Dharmesh Shah (later folded into HubSpot) and the prescription-verification layer behind Costco Optical's contact lens fulfillment. (Not to be confused with TailwindCSS.)
