About

Hey there! I'm Ben, a recent Computer Science grad from Penn State with a strong passion for all things tech. My journey through college was filled with exciting projects, from building a full-stack e-commerce site to optimizing university electricity usage with AI. I've dabbled in everything from coding custom dynamic memory allocators in C to creating five-stage CPUs in MIPS architecture.

During my time at Penn State, I was a Learning Assistant, helping students get a grip on database management systems and tackling tricky algorithms. I also spent a summer as a Full Stack Developer Intern at Lowe’s, where I got hands-on with Spring Boot and even helped transition an in-house analytics app.

When I'm not knee-deep in code, you'll find me at hackathons, leading teams to develop cool web apps, or guiding students as a camp counselor, fostering a love for STEM. I’m a big believer in the power of collaboration and community, whether it’s through tech or teaching.

Feel free to drop me a line if you want to chat about tech, projects, or just grab a coffee. I’m always up for a good conversation!
