Top SchoolBenjamin Murray is a Software Engineering Manager in Dublin with nine years of hands-on experience building and leading .NET teams at Smartbox Group. He combines deep C#/.NET expertise with full‑stack fluency—having worked across F#, SQL, JavaScript, Angular and AWS services—to deliver production-ready features and reliable deployments. A pragmatic engineering manager, he moved internally from senior engineer to team lead and now manages engineering delivery and mentorship while preserving a developer-first mindset. His background in health tech and startups (LetsGetChecked, PatientMPower) means he’s comfortable with regulated domains, testing-first practices and opportunistic refactoring. Unusually for an engineer, he also holds a BA in Music, reflecting a creative perspective he brings to product design and UI decisions. Colleagues describe him as a steady technical coach who balances shipping velocity with code quality and documentation.
