Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen J is a London-based leader in software engineering with a decade of experience spanning embedded systems, consumer wearables, industrial sensors and server-side web applications. He combines hands-on firmware and electronics design with sysadmin and backend skills, having shipped device fleets, CI-driven firmware releases, and device management platforms in production. At Cambridge Consultants and Eave he led cross-disciplinary streams—implementing custom radio controllers, low-power radio stacks, and production audio streaming for device testing—while also improving team practices like mentoring and GitLab administration. Now leading engineering within Cisco ThousandEyes, he brings a pragmatic generalist approach: able to dive into PCB layouts and control loops one day and deploy logging/backhaul or device management services the next. An Oxford-trained engineer who quietly starts sustainability groups and Embedded SIGs, he balances technical depth with organizational improvements that reduce long-term risk.
