01 A little about me

Deep experience.
A practical perspective.

I’m Benjamin Fraley—Ben for short. I enjoy untangling complex problems and making technology more useful to the people who depend on it.

Over more than 20 years in software engineering, I’ve worked across backend architecture, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and technical leadership. That experience includes serving as a Principal Software Engineer at AT&T and my current role as a Senior Backend Developer at Unified.me.

Today, my work brings together Python, FastAPI, Temporal, API integrations, and AI-driven development. I care about clear thinking, maintainable systems, and solutions that make sense for the people using them.
