About Me
Hi, I’m Benjamin.
I work where science, technology, creativity, and curiosity meet. My world is shaped by space missions, intelligent systems, ocean horizons, ambitious ideas, and the constant pull of exploration.
This space is less about a formal biography and more about the things that drive me — building, discovering, and following ideas into interesting places.
More than one lane
Science, exploration, and a bit of adventure.
Science OpsProgramme ManagementScheduling & KPIsTooling
Explorer mindset
Following curiosity into unfamiliar places.
Creative systems
Designing tools that make complex things clearer.
Adventure energy
A sense of movement, possibility, and ambition.
Modern perspective
Fresh, thoughtful, and willing to try new things.
Early opportunities to talk and do public outreach helped shape my perspective on science communication, public engagement, and the value of sharing ideas in different ways.
The Mission
Building tools for discovery.
Space scienceDigital toolsStrategySystems thinking
Professionally, I work in space science and programme management, helping turn ambitious ideas into real, usable systems. That means planning, problem-solving, building better workflows, and helping science move from concept to action.
NASA Ames
A reminder of where the mission mindset really clicked — that mix of possibility, systems thinking, and scientific ambition.
The ocean
I’ve always been drawn to the sea — it carries the same sense of scale, wonder, and mystery that space does.

Missions, planning, and delivery
OpsKPIsStrategy
I work at the point where science intent meets operational reality: translating mission objectives into schedulable programmes, defining strategies, and tracking progress with metrics that actually change decisions.
It’s the bridge I enjoy most — taking ambitious work and giving it the structure to actually happen.
Fieldwork
Harsh environments teach you quickly that plans matter, but adaptability matters more.
Research
Extreme environments & astrobiology roots
FieldworkAnalysisCuriosity
Earlier work took me into harsher environments — the kind of experience that builds respect for constraints, safety, and the gap between a plan and the real world.
Scuba diving
One of my favourite ways to switch off, reset, and feel fully present in another world for a while.
Outdoors
Long walks, open landscapes, coastlines, and places that make everything else feel smaller in the best way.
Builder
I also like making things.
DashboardsToolsInterfacesIdeas
Beyond mission work, I’m drawn to building useful systems and digital experiences — dashboards, models, interactive ideas, and projects that combine clarity with imagination.

A few quick things about me.

I like places with atmosphere, stories with scale, and work that feels meaningful. I’m happiest when I’m building, exploring, learning, or somewhere with sea air and a horizon line.
