Summary
Ben Hamlett is a hands-on technology leader and entrepreneur with a decade of experience building games, immersive XR experiences, and web applications as Co-Founder & CTO of Spectropia Studios and Managing Director of TidyDev. He combines deep Unity/C# expertise for AR/VR/XR projects with full-stack web skills—Laravel, Vue.js, Tailwind and PHP—allowing him to prototype end-to-end products from concept to polished demo. Ben’s career spans founding small studios, UX-focused PHP work, and leading bespoke software for clients, reflecting a strong product-first mindset and an appetite for rapid iteration. Based in Doncaster, he channels a continuous learning ethic into personal projects and playful experimentation, which keeps his toolset current across both new and legacy technologies. Outside of work he’s the sort of developer who treats spare time as a lab for unusual ideas, often turning prototypes into client-facing or studio-grade experiences.
