About Me

---------------------------

My name is Ben Neil, a polyglot engineer. I have had the privilege to work the

past eleven years making websites, services, documentation and tools for amazing companies.

I'm obsessed with technology and programming - mainy linux, hypervisors, containers, unikernels,

scala, rust, go etc. Ive got a real problem researching tools and enjoy writing then rewriting

internal documentation.

---------------------------

Publications

Recently (well in 2016) I co-authored a book called Professional Scala, it was an exciting experience and I really enjoyed the feedback from the scala community.
