Ben Summers

About Ben

I'm a software developer and entrepreneur. I co-founded Haplo, which was eventually acquired by Cayuse in 2021.

I am the Chair of the Board of Trustees at the Centre for Alternative Technology, an environmental education charity, and a non-exec Board member of the Centre for Digital Public Services, an arm's length body of the Welsh Government.

My main professional interests are technical leadership, diversity and inclusion, information security, privacy, quality, developer platforms, and user experience. Each one of these needs all the others to be done properly.

Haplo retrospective

Because we thought about everything so carefully, Haplo was a special workplace. I'm writing a retrospective on what we did and why we did it.

It is a work in progress. Feedback is appreciated.
