Hero since 2021
Ben has been using AWS professionally since 2015 and, as an AWS Technologist at Cloudar, works with businesses ranging from start-ups to enterprises. Being part of a Premier AWS Consulting Partner, he provides architectural and operational support and shares his experiences along the way. He is also an AWS Authorized Instructor and gives AWS Classroom Training at The Campus.
You can find his blogpost on the Cloudar blog, see him participating on GitHub (maybe your CloudFormation Stack uses code he wrote), or run into him in an online community like the AWS Developers Slack. He is a co-organizer of the Belgian AWS User-Group and frequently speaks at various other events. For bite-sized tips and thoughts, he also uses Twitter.
He has a broad interest in serverless, automation and enabling builders. Currently, he counts CloudFormation, Lambda, KMS, CloudFront, and Lambda@Edge among his favorite services. Still, he has a soft spot for everything related to operational tasks, like Systems Manager.
