Top SchoolBen Stewart is a Lead DevOps Engineer specializing in developer tooling with 10 years of experience designing and operating high-volume, production-critical systems. He has a track record of driving platform-wide efficiency—identifying and delivering over $1M in annual infrastructure savings and reducing app bootstrapping time from days to under an hour. A pragmatist who favors functional programming, Ben led adoption of the Typelevel stack across services, built internal libraries and sbt tooling to eliminate boilerplate, and codified a “golden path” for builds and deployments. He mentors engineers, runs internal open-source initiatives, and pairs hands-on engineering with strategic platform design to enable team autonomy and resilience. Based in London and trained in the sciences at Cambridge, he combines rigorous, typesafe engineering with a knack for operational cost optimization and developer experience.
