Hi, I'm Benjamin Marshall 👋

Software Developer from Sydney, Australia

LinkedIn Email GitHub


👨‍💻 About Me

I started coding at 13 and have spent the last 8 years building production systems that scale. I founded a hosting company that served 8,000+ customers globally, built CAD systems handling 1,000+ concurrent users, and co-founded an AI-powered job marketplace.

Now I'm completing my Diploma in Software Engineering at TAFE NSW (graduating mid-2025) and seeking a developer role where I can focus on writing great code and learning from experienced engineers.

Why I'm transitioning from founder to developer:

  • I love building software, not running businesses
  • Want to learn best practices from experienced teams
  • Prefer deep technical work over fundraising and operations
  • Ready to contribute my production experience to a collaborative environment
