Ben Hughes

I'm a software engineer based in San Diego, California, currently on an extended learning sabbatical spent studying a broad range of technical topics, from machine learning to systems programming. I've been consulting since 2002, with long-running client relationships and then nine years as founding engineer of Loomly.

I like careful software: clear trade-offs, durable code, and systems that stay easy to change.

Outside work I play jazz piano. Earlier in my career, I shaped my work around travel; these days I'm more settled.
