Hi, I’m Benjamin Garrard 👋

Systems Engineer • Founder • DevRel • Platform Builder

I build developer-facing platforms, AI-powered systems, and production-grade tooling that scale from prototype to real users.
My focus is on shipping, clarity, and closing the loop between developers, users, and systems.
