Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Nevile is a founder and technology leader with over two decades of software experience and 13 years in senior roles building product-led companies and developer tools. He currently leads steward.foo, an opinionated "software factory" that runs hundreds of automated stewards across dozens of repos to accelerate shipping, while also serving as Fractional CTO at Exhibit and advising scaling startups. Previously he co-founded Practice (raised $10M from a16z), was CTO at Breather, and built consumer-scale apps at Mainsocial, demonstrating a track record from signal-processing research to high-velocity SaaS delivery. Ben blends hands-on engineering, systems thinking, and org design to optimize developer experience and delivery cadence, and he deliberately dogfoods his platform—shipping 50–60 PRs/day on steward.foo itself. With an interdisciplinary M.Sc. in electrical engineering and music and a background in physics, he brings a rare mix of technical depth, product intuition, and context-focused engineering practices.
