Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Eveling is a senior technical consultant and web applications specialist with over a decade of experience designing and building CMS-driven sites and bespoke web apps, currently shaping UCL's Drupal estate and module catalogue. He co-founded and has led Beetlebrow since 1998, delivering websites and applications for clients ranging from ITV to the SPI Group, combining hands-on front-end skills (HTML/CSS/Sass, JavaScript/jQuery) with server-side Python, Zope/Plone and CMS migrations. His career includes pioneering portal work at AltaVista and driving six major rebuilds of vnunet, moving projects from static HTML through JSP/servlets to Apache Cocoon—evidence of both technical breadth and long-term product stewardship. Comfortable spanning editorial, UX and backend integration, he also brings a journalist’s eye for content and information architecture from an earlier publishing career. Based in Salisbury and educated at Oxford (Philosophy & Psychology), he pairs pragmatic engineering with clear communication, often simplifying complex integrations between CMSs and institutional systems. An uncommon strength is his blend of legacy system rescue and modern Drupal development, making him effective at both migration strategy and everyday maintenance.
