Discuss a similar projectOn 2 June 2026 I started an empty repository at 11:24. By 14:08 the same afternoon, it held a working 3D explorer for the maps of Bungie's Marathon. By 08:38 on 4 June it had a squad simulation, adaptive rendering, a soundtrack and a design language borrowed from the game. It's live at marathon.withseismic.com.
It's a fan project. Nobody paid for it and nobody asked for it, but it's the clearest example I have of how my work has changed. The technical side was never the hard part. The hours were, and for years they decided what got cut before I'd written a line. This time nothing got cut, so taste led the project instead of the time I had.
Fan-made map explorer for Marathon
Design & engineering · Built the 3D explorer, squad sim and soundtrack
Read the full case studyTau Ceti IV is a 3D surface-data explorer for the three maps in Bungie's Marathon. It's an independent fan project rather than client work, built over three days with Claude Code, and the role covered the design, the engineering and the soundtrack.
React Three Fiber, drawing each map's line geometry as one set of segments with a height-graded shader.…
I work across strategy, design, engineering, marketing, sales and operations. Over more than a decade, that has included work for 
Groupon, 
Vouchercloud, AWIN and 
The Motley Fool, product engineering for 
Framer, 
Contra and 
STRV, and founding and selling three software businesses of my own.
I’m good at taking a complicated business problem, making the work clear and seeing it through. That can mean deciding what to build, designing the experience, writing the software, finding customers or improving how the business runs. I work with colleagues across those disciplines and take responsibility for the work myself.
In my own businesses, product decisions, customer acquisition, sales, revenue and day-to-day operations have all been my responsibility. I bring that same connected view to client work, from shaping the offer to building the product and measuring whether it works for the business.

On 24 September 2026, the Benson repository was an empty Turborepo starter. Ten days later, on 4 October, I relaunched Benson at trybenson.com with a Shopify app, a WooCommerce plugin, a dashboard, a marketing site, a press release and a series of explainer films behind it. By the end of the second week, the repository held 836 commits, 44 product specs and about 655,000 lines of 
TypeScript, with 785 test files among them.
The original roadmap for the same scope estimated 14 to 18 weeks. I built it with a team of AI agents doing most of the typing while I did the deciding.
Benson is still a work in progress. It's also the piece of work I'm proudest of, because it's the first time I haven't had to cut an idea down to fit the hours I had.
