Ben Allen | Software Engineer

Independent contractor specializing in modern Python architectures and high-performance tooling. I enjoy the intersection of Python and Rust, and leveraging tools like uv and ruff to build scalable, maintainable systems.

🛠 Tech Stack & Philosophy

  • Core: Python (Expert), Rust (Exploring/Interop), Vue.js and NUXT.js, FastAPI.
  • Tooling: I use uv for all dependency management and environment isolation. I advocate for the "Rust-ification" of Python tooling to improve $DX$ and execution speed.
  • Architectures: Asynchronous systems, OCR/Document processing, and full-stack API design.

🚀 Featured Open Source

OCR_PDF_Scanner

Focus: Performance, OCR, Tooling A utility to handle the heavy lifting of scanned document extraction. Managed via uv to ensure reproducible, lightning-fast environments.

PhotoMerge

Focus: Data Integrity, File Systems A tool for intelligent photo deduplication. Currently exploring ways to optimize file hashing and comparison logic.
