Octo.Dad

I'm Ben Galbraith, a married forty-something American raising eight kids in Silicon Valley while working in tech.

In the near future, my family and I are moving to London while I work at Tessl. We anticipate a return to the USA in 2026 or 2027.

I have been privileged to partner with Dion Almaer for much of my career, though at the moment we find ourselves at different developer AI startups. To learn more about my work history, see LinkedIn; a short summary is below.

I used to blog, but it’s been a while, and it’s all pretty outdated. I do occasionally spew random thoughts on either Threads or Twitter.

I play a lot of board games, and, for reasons I don’t entirely understand, I log every play; you can see the gory details at Board Game Geek.

You can reach me by sending an email to my first or last name @ octo.dad.[*]
