About Ben
I am a Software Engineer and Technical Lead with over three years of experience building scalable backend systems and cloud applications for startups, companies, and international clients. I specialise in Java, Spring Boot, AWS, microservices, and API development, with hands-on experience designing and deploying production-ready applications. In addition to my professional work, I have built and scaled my own SaaS platform used by customers across multiple countries. My teaching approach focuses on real-world projects, practical problem-solving, and industry best practices rather than theory alone. Whether you’re a university student looking for help with assignments, a junior developer building your portfolio, or someone preparing for backend engineering interviews, I can help you develop the skills employers look for. Together, we’ll build real applications, understand modern software architecture, and gain the confidence to work on production-level systems.

Ben and I study together at uni so I've seen firsthand how well he explains things. He's patient, never makes you feel rushed, and actually cares if you understand or not. Honestly one of the best people to go to when stuck on something.
I highly recommend Ben as a tutor and mentor in Software Development, Cloud Computing, AI, and Machine Learning. Having worked with him on technical projects, I have consistently been impressed by his ability to break down complex concepts into simple, practical explanations. His industry experience, combined with a strong academic foundation, allows him to connect theoretical knowledge with real-world applications.
Ben is patient, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed. Whether it’s programming, system design, cloud technologies, or AI concepts, he takes the time to ensure students fully understand the material rather than simply memorizing solutions. His hands-on approach and experience building real products make his lessons engaging and highly relevant to today’s technology industry.
I would confidently recommend Ben to anyone looking to strengthen their technical skills, prepare for a career in software engineering, or gain practical experience in modern technologies.I first met Ben when he took me under his wing as a technical mentor, and his guidance completely shaped how I approach software engineering.
What I appreciate most is his down-to-earth approach. He has a real gift for taking complex coding principles and breaking them down into simple, practical steps that make sense in the real world. In a very humble way, he taught me an innovative mindset for problem-solving—showing me how to build clean, secure code from the ground up.
Ben is incredibly patient, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in his students. I couldn’t recommend him enough.I know Ben from uni, and we've been pursing our Masters in IT together.
He’s a friendly, patient, and easy-going person who is always happy to help others. Whenever someone is stuck, Ben explains things clearly and makes difficult topics feel a lot easier to understand. He's pretty cool to have as a team leader because he knows his stuff so well.
I’d recommend him because he knows his stuff and is good at teaching it in a simple way. He’s reliable, approachable, and would be a great tutor for anyone needing help with Software Engineering.
Ben is an exceptional tutor who teaches both Software Engineering and AI/ML with great clarity and enthusiasm. His explanations are well-structured, making even complex concepts easy to understand. He is patient, approachable, and always willing to help students work through challenging topics.
What stands out most is his ability to connect theoretical concepts with real-world applications, which makes learning both engaging and practical. Whether it's software design principles, machine learning algorithms, or project-related guidance, Ben consistently provides valuable insights and constructive feedback.
I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking to strengthen their understanding of Software Engineering or AI/ML. His dedication to student success and depth of knowledge make him an outstanding educator.See more recommendations
