Top SchoolBenjamin Owens is a seasoned developer and systems administrator with over 20 years of professional experience and a decade of focused industry roles, now based in Nijmegen, Netherlands. He has built and maintained large PHP and WordPress codebases (notably NextGEN Gallery and NextGEN Pro) and architected complex e-commerce and hosting platforms that processed millions in transactions.

He has run his own consultancy, led multi-national teams, and migrated legacy systems to modern, object-oriented architectures.
