Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Shonaldmann is a Security Architect and seasoned software engineer with 17 years of experience building resilient, high-scale systems for startups, campaigns, and manufacturing. He was the first employee at Tulip, where he architected and shipped the web platform for instrumented factory apps, and later led technology and security at Scale to Win, delivering billions of texts and mitigating a 2M-requests-per-second DDoS. His work spans full-stack engineering (NodeJS, React, Go, Postgres/MongoDB) to security practice-building, incident response, and operational tooling. He has a strong track record in rapid, mission-critical scaling—evident from campaign systems that went from zero to millions of messages in days—and in mentoring and hiring growing teams. Based in Cambridge and an MIT CS alumnus, he combines research roots from the Media Lab with hands-on product delivery across both commercial and civic projects. Colleagues know him for balancing deep technical ownership with practical policy and organizational leadership.
