About Ben Preston

I’m a London based developer working for a international consultancy in an Innovation team. You can see a video of the sort of work I do here: https://bit.ly/capgemini-benI started programming in 2018 first working in mostly front end development making mobiles sites at Marfeel in Barcelona, then working in streaming first for Nexplayer and then Accedo where I was building Channel 4s app for Firestick. Since being back in London I've been working for Capgemini where I've worked on a range of full stack projects such as acting as Tech Lead on a Rewilding Tool for Pollenize, working on a future of retail project called CornerShop and undertaking numerous smaller innovation projects.Prior to this I spent ten years developing delivery models and business proposals to win and deliver millions of pounds of government contracts. This involved attention to detail and regular project interactions and improvement, which has made the transition to agile tech working feel very natural.I managed a large team of people and I hold a masters degree (MSc) in Management as well as a bachelor's degree in Mathematics (BSc)
