A fun photo of Ben

I'm Benjamin Hutchins — Ben, if we've met. Software engineer, sometimes founder, full-time geek. This site is where I write some of it down.

Work

I'm currently running Ato, a software company I founded.

Before that I co-founded PatientPal with Adam Vartikar — hyper-automation for the operational pain of the US healthcare sector. We sold it to Med-Metrix and I've since exited.

I'm a full-stack engineer; I've spent most of my career leading projects, growing teams, and shipping products at startups. I'm a certified security expert and I bring that lens — security, user privacy, and information assurance — to everything I build.

Personal

I live in New Hampshire with my wife Cassandra and our two boys, Benedict and Caladin.

I love science fiction, fantasy, and superheroes in any form. I read a lot, watch a lot, and try to make it to a few geek-friendly conferences a year — PAX, GenCon, and one day Comic-Con. I'm a long-time PC gamer with embarrassing hours on Steam. When I'm not with my family, in front of a screen, or buried in a book, I'm usually outside with our dogs, Inigo Montoya and Fezzik.

How to reach me

May your towel stay dry,
— Benjamin
