Ben Hughes // rek0de

From Data Operations to AI Architecture.

For the last 16 years, I've been leading data operations, managing technical governance, and building highly complex CGI and data pipelines for multinational companies. As the Founder of rek0de, I spent the last several years turning bleeding-edge R&D into automated, 'Zero-Trust' AI production pipelines that reduce costs and increase output without compromising brand safety.
