Hi, I’m Ben 👋

Principal Data Engineer based in the UK 🇬🇧
I help organisations design, build, and evolve reliable data platforms that solve real business problems.

Data platforms · Ingestion & transformation · Cloud-agnostic · Pragmatic engineering

What I do

  • Strategy & direction — defining data strategy and technical direction with stakeholders
  • Platform design — delivering modern data platforms across batch and CDC
  • Pragmatic engineering — building reliable, maintainable, and cost-aware systems
  • Architecture guidance — helping teams choose the right approach based on context, constraints, and outcomes

Technical focus

  • Designing batch and CDC-based data pipelines with clear trade-offs
  • Building and operating modern data platforms across GCP, AWS, and Azure
  • Analytics engineering with dbt, focusing on maintainable models and data quality
  • Applying infrastructure as code and operational best practices to data systems
