👋 Hello, I'm Ben Ryder

I’m a full-stack developer from Manchester (UK) with a love for building software, especially on the web. I have experience with Node.js, React, Drupal and [insert new buzzword] here.

I’m particularly interested in the worlds of local-first software and malleable systems at the moment, which I’m exploring in my Headbase project.

I get up to all sorts of things too such as playing the piano & cello, writing, hiking, cycling and field recording.
If you want to learn more about me, I have some details about my skills and experience and a ‘uses’ page which might interest you. I also occasionally write blog posts where I reflect on random thoughts, and guides where I focus on technical content and useful tips.
