Ben Taylor

Ben is a staff software engineer at Stile Education and the creator of Runno, an open-source browser-based runtime for programming languages and WebAssembly binaries. With over a decade of experience in front-end and mobile development, he’s passionate about making technology more accessible and has a particular focus on educational technology. His work spans from building dev tools like Bengular to creating sandboxed execution environments that let AI assistants safely run code in real-time.

When he’s not building software that bridges the gap between complex systems and human needs, Ben can be found rock climbing, making games, DJing, or volunteer teaching. His approach to development centers on design, usability, and interfaces that actually serve people—whether that’s students learning to code, developers building applications, or AI systems trying to execute user requests safely. He’s also an active open-source contributor and frequently shares insights about WebAssembly, web components, and the future of browser-based development.
