Hi, I'm Benny 👋

📍 Germany | 🔥 Firestarter | 🤖 Model factory @ poolside | 🚀 Founding team of GitHub Copilot

I lead the teams at poolside that turn frontier models into coding agents, and production signal back into evals, RL environments and post-training. Open source since 2006, developer tools all the way down. Still reads the pull request.

What I'm on now

  • 🤖 Agent experience: the agentic layer of poolside's model factory
  • 🛡️ Managed agents: the enterprise Console, with RBAC, policies and full session traceability
  • 🧪 Evals and self-improvement: customer-specific eval environments, PostTrainBench, synthetic RL environments
  • 🎯 Fine-tuning: an end-to-end stack for training models on customers' own code
  • ⚡ Inference: Atlas models on AWS Bedrock

Previously

  • 🚀 GitHub: early engineer on Copilot, from technical preview to $300M+ ARR; founding engineer of Copilot Chat and its first context engine
  • 🐘 Gradle: JVM toolchains and the Groovy 3 upgrade in the Gradle Build Tool
  • 🔌 Tasktop: led the SDK team behind 65+ ALM tool connectors; Eclipse Mylyn committer
  • 🌘 EclipseSource: Eclipse RAP committer, OSGi and RCP consulting

Open source

Recent PRs to vLLM, 🤗 Transformers, AutoGen, LangChain, MLflow and esbuild. Before that, committer on Gradle, Eclipse Mylyn, EGit, RAP and the Marketplace Client. ☕ Java Champion.
