Ben Rogers is a founder and seasoned software engineering leader with 7+ years of recent experience scaling teams and delivering high-impact systems across automotive, telecom, energy, and life sciences. He blends analytical rigor and creative perspective to guide product vision, lead agile transformations, and solve technically and politically hard problems—most recently as a tech lead at Reality Labs where he extended Android/AOSP permissions for XR and brought private cloud compute to wearable AI. Ben has a track record of turning ambitious ideas into measurable value—driving projects that unlocked tens of millions in revenue and cost savings, optimized performance for millions of users, and closed a $50M Smart City deal via an open data platform. He’s equally at home diving into low-level performance work as he is mentoring teams and architects, and he has repeatedly built repeatable delivery practices (CI/CD, IaC, DevOps) that scale organizations. Based in Dublin, Ohio, he pairs a physics/math academic foundation with decades of product and systems experience to make complex engineering both practical and strategic.
