Ben Brunyee

Software Developer

I build feature-rich web apps for
start-ups & small businesses

I'm a freelance software developer who fell in love with turning creative concepts into intuitive experiences. I started out building a simple booking tool for my own phone repair business—just a scrappy, no-nonsense web app that solved a real problem. Soon after, I was fully embracing SvelteKit to craft faster, more responsive frontends that help businesses stand out, streamline their processes, and grow.

Before striking out on my own, I spent over six years at IBM, tackling enterprise-level challenges and managing large-scale infrastructure and automation projects. That experience equipped me with the grit, problem-solving instincts, and production-hardened expertise I now bring to my clients. I understand how to navigate complex requirements, strike the right balance between innovation and reliability, and keep projects on track under pressure.

Clients appreciate that I blend big-company experience with a personal, startup-friendly mindset. I take the time to understand their vision, communicate clearly, and suggest approaches they may not have considered. When we work together, it's not just about delivering code—it's about building something we're both proud of, something that adapts and thrives as needs evolve.
