Ben has 16+ years of hands-on engineering experience and holds AWS architecture credentials. He leads teams through large migrations, greenfield builds, and modernizations — turning ambiguous requirements into secure, scalable, cost-efficient systems.
Before Surton, Ben was a founding engineer at BriteCore alongside Chris, where he helped shape the platform's architecture and engineering practices. His work spans event-driven architectures, containers and serverless, data pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code.
Clients lean on Ben when there's no room for architectural drift — when decisions need to move cleanly from whiteboard to production without losing the thread between business risk, delivery speed, and system quality.
