Benjamin D is a Creative Rapid Prototyping Engineer and game designer with 13 years of hands-on experience building interactive products and indie games from concept to release. Based in the Netherlands, he co-founded TurtleBlaze (shipping Road Warriors and KUNAI) and has held dual technical and leadership roles including CTO & Co-Founder at Mibo and long-tenured engineering work at Q42.

Benjamin also advises and contributes code to startups like Flow - Money Automation, blending product thinking with practical engineering. His background in media technology and early mobile/web projects gives him a strong cross-platform intuition that informs both gameplay systems and robust prototypes.
