Hi, my name is

Ben Holland (Mad Red Coder).

I love to create things.

I’m a software engineer specializing in building (and occasionally designing) exceptional digital experiences. Currently, I’m focused on building the first all-in-one finance platform for SMBs at Aion.

About Me

Hello! My name is Ben and I enjoy creating beautiful things that mainly live on the internet. My love for web development started way back in 2008 during my student placement when the first application I ever worked on - an interactive periodic table for school students in Manchester, England - was published.

Fast-forward to today, and I’ve had the privilege
of working at a leader in retail healthcare, the UK's top field service managment company, a large corporation, as well as multiple start-ups.

My main focus these days is building a customer-centric, intuitive and easy-to-use platform that replaces traditional, more cumbersome financial systems at Aion for businesses looking to streamline their financial operations.

Here are a few technologies I’ve been working with recently:

  • JavaScript (ES6+)
  • Swift
  • React
  • Kotlin
  • Node.js
  • Java
