Ben Tripp

Hi, I'm Ben.

I’m a Senior DevOps Engineering Consultant. I design and operate complex software, infrastructure, and AI systems, then bring that same level of technical judgment to small businesses that need real help.

The Short Version

I’ve spent years building the kinds of systems serious companies rely on: cloud infrastructure, AI applications, automation, and software that has to work under pressure. I hold AWS Solutions Architect Professional, AWS DevOps Engineer Professional, and Kubernetes Administrator certifications.

Small businesses often get forced into bad options: overpay a polished firm, buy a tool that doesn’t really fit, or keep living with broken processes because fixing them feels out of reach. I like closing that gap.

How I Work

Start with the real problem. A messy workflow, a fragile system, or too much manual work usually can be improved when someone looks at it with the right mix of technical skill and practical judgment.

Keep it clear. You should understand what you’re buying, why it matters, and where the payoff is. I prefer plain English, honest tradeoffs, and work that holds up in the real world.

Do what makes sense. Sometimes the right move is simple. Sometimes it’s ambitious. Either way, the work should be scoped well and executed competently.

When a Project Needs More Than One Specialty

Some projects need adjacent expertise — design polish, deeper application work, specialized integrations, or extra implementation capacity. When that happens, I can pull in trusted collaborators so the work stays coherent and you don’t have to coordinate a pile of separate vendors yourself.

Location

I’m based in Southern Maine and primarily serve businesses in New England, but most of what I do can be done remotely.

For local clients, I’m happy to meet in person. For everyone else, video works well too.
