Bio
Miklos Blasko
Ben is one of my favorite colleagues ever. He's incredibly sharp, on point, always has a PoV, and backs it up with facts/data. He's very well-informed and tied in with the market and also organizes his knowledge in an incredibly sophisticated way. Anyone who is lucky enough to work with Ben will know that he is an absolute machine and an incredibly healthy addition to any company, which values great output. He's also an incredibly nice and humble person, additive to any positive and performance-oriented culture.

Playing with a couple of ideas and having a go at building web apps with no code tools. First project scoped out but put back down for now (looking at communities/experiences for retired and retiring people - it’s a massive opportunity!) Current project is a bit closer to home (and in a space I know much more about!) - always keen to discuss so drop me a message if interested!
