DarrenBenson/README.md

👋 Hi, I’m Darren

I’m an engineering leader with a hands-on background. Most of my experience comes from scaling teams, modernising old systems, and dealing with the consequences when decisions don’t age well.

I still build things to stay honest about the trade-offs. I’m not interested in hype. I’m interested in what holds up.


🧭 What I Care About

  • Systems that work under real pressure
  • Developer experience and cognitive load
  • Long-term technical and organisational decisions
  • Practical use of AI and automation, without all the hype

✍️ Writing

I write at Real World Engineering about engineering leadership, system failures, and the long tail of technical choices.

🧪 Projects

  • SDLC Studio – Tooling to support product requirements, planning, and quality across the software delivery lifecycle.
  • bin2art – Turning retro binary data into visual artefacts.
  • 3D Shooter (Unity) – A small project to understand game loops and rendering fundamentals.

This repo space is a working notebook, not a curated portfolio.
