Summary
Benjamin Carlyle is a Principal Solutions Architect with 20+ years designing and rescuing large-scale, safety-critical and high-availability systems across rail and finance. He led the rewrite of a railway SCADA monolith into the SystematICS services architecture—a product that drove significant revenue—and repeatedly rehabs failing projects into reliable distributed systems. Deeply experienced in REST, SOA, publish/subscribe and secure data replication, he coined the “REST Triangle” and has contributed to influential books and standards work on REST and SOA. At Mastercard and Siemens he combines hands-on engineering with technical governance and SDLC reform to operate services at internet scale while meeting stringent safety requirements. Based in Brisbane, he also runs a long-running REST blog and has a practical systems-engineering mindset grounded in formal INCOSE/CENELEC practices.
