Hi! I'm Benjamin Velie, a software engineer at Google working on large-scale distributed systems. I'm interested in infrastructure reliability, AI safety, and occasionally making silly web toys.
Work
I'm currently building evaluation infrastructure for GCP Billing.

I care about building systems that fail gracefully and improving how teams learn from outages.Toys
