I’m Ben Sekulowicz-Barclay, a twenty-something year old developer from London. I’m currently fulfilling a lifetime ambition, having recently moved to Tokyo, Japan, where I’m the CTO of Information Architects. Prior to this, I worked for two of the biggest and brightest media agencies in Britain. I specialise in developing accessible, usable and elegant websites using HTML, CSS and Javascript. I’m also an expert in developing with the CodeIgniter MVC framework and in using the LAMP stack in general. I’ve also dabbled with ASP and Processing, with varying degrees of success.

I’ve worked with some of the biggest clients in the world in various roles including both front-end and back-end development and, most recently, as Technical Lead. My portfolio includes work for the BBC, Channel 4, Diesel, Jenson Button, Nike, Paul McCartney, Queen, the NHS and various other UK government departments.

I’m also the developer behind a few non-commercial projects. Flickrshow is a simple Javascript-based slideshow that can be embedded in almost any website and displays images from a Flickr user’s photostream, set or pool. It’s currently in the sixth revision and is serving thousands of slideshows every day. Inbentori is an open API for managing your life experiences—it’s currently under development but will be available soon. From time to time I also release PHP libraries or jQuery plugins, all of which are available on my Github page.

Away from work, I am a keen cyclist, snowboarder, traveller and amateur photographer and have taken some half decent images of the Great Wall of China, wholesale tuna haggling at Tokyo’s Tsukiji market and the Mojave Desert outside of Las Vegas.

Like anyone who makes their living through the Internet, I make use of a number of different services and social networks which generate a lot of content on my behalf. You’ll find me on Delicious, Flickr, Last.fm, Linked In and Twitter. If you want to contact me using more conventional means, I can be reached by email.
