Hello, I build things for The Web.

I’m Ben Hodgson.

I’m half of Fantastic and I take on web and iPhone projects through Iroxa CT. Although I’m constantly fiddling about with different technologies, I currently spend most of my time working with Django, jQuery and the iPhone SDK. In a former life, I wrote an awful lot of PHP. Check out some of my code on GitHub.

My main technical interests are building RESTful web APIs and scaling real–time web apps, although most areas of technological goodness fascinate me — I’m a true geek at heart. Despite my primarily technical background, I have a solid appreciation of elegant, highly–usable user interfaces.

I’m usually kept pretty busy by my work for Fantastic but feel free to drop me an email if you think we could work on something together. I’d love to hear from you if you’re working on something that you think I’ll find interesting. If you’d like to know more about my background or experience, take a look at my CV.
