Hello, I’m Ben.
I am a software developer based in the Boston area. Here you can find a portfolio of my projects as well as other miscellaneous items.
I specialize in backend development and systems administration for Unix-like systems, using C, Python, Go, and Bash. I also have some small game development and web development projects under my belt.
