Summary
Benjamin Garrard is a founder and CTO with a decade of engineering experience building practical AI and cloud-backed tools for startups from Austin. He’s shipped generative-AI integrations and a Photoshop plugin used by 100+ users, and previously built internal developer tooling and a SOA CLI adopted across 30+ teammates. His background spans Python microservices, performance optimization (cutting slow endpoints from minutes to seconds), ELK/Grafana monitoring, and end-to-end customer-facing technical support. A former Marine Corps wireman, he combines disciplined operational instincts with hands-on software craft, including object-detection research and dataset engineering from his doctoral-assistant work. Benjamin excels at turning ambiguous product needs into reliable automation and developer workflows that scale inside small teams.
