Ben Freke

I'm Ben, a tech enthusiast and engineer based in the UK. I'm passionate about technology, the outdoors, and writing random crap down on this website.

What I Do

Professionally, I’m an Engineer at Kraken. My domain within Kraken is Platform for the Flex services, which manage distributed energy resources. We provide a secure platform for the SaaS application to run on. My background includes Energy and Utilities, Banking and National Security.

Personally, I spend a lot of time tinkering with adjacent technologies, but I mainly enjoy being outdoors: cycling, running, hiking, climbing and camping. Hopefully my writing on these topics balances out the tech content here.

This Site

This website serves as my digital rambling log where I share:

  • Homelab - My journey building and maintaining a personal home lab
  • Photos - Photos I’ve taken while out and about
  • Outdoor Articles - Blog articles on adventures I’ve done or am planning to do.
