Ben Ward is a software engineer and product manager from Cambridge (UK), currently residing in San Francisco.
I graduated in Computation at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology and I've been doing things with the internet for well over a decade. As well as writing software and building products, I present radio, and periodically I write, sometimes here.
