Hi, I'm Ben!
I am a Software Engineer
Nice to meet you! :)
Hi, I'm Ben! I recently graduated from Utah State University with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science. Now, I am doing my best to start my career in Software Engineering. How am I working to accomplish this? I am looking for every opportunity to develop my skills through projects relating to web development and data science. Why am I interested in the web and data? What intrigues me about computer science, software engineering, and web and data is the many opportunities to solve real-world problems that effect real people. On top of that, no two are the same!
What do I like to do in my free time? In the summer, I like to play tennis, pickleball, or go hiking. In the winter I love to ski. All year round, I am a fan of reading a good book, watching movies, or playing games with friends.
My Projects
Algorithm Visualization App
This project was build for a 24 hour hackathon. We built this to give students a graphical representation of some common graph exploration algorithms. We do this by allowing users to create nodes and add connections between them. Then users can run the algorithms and the nodes will light up based on where the active node is currently.

- React
- TypeScript
- TailwindCSS

- Git
- Go
Markdown Notes App
I wanted a simple notes app that was cheap and worked on any device (Apple and Android). I also wanted it to be based around the Markdown formatting standard. After much research, I had a difficult time finding an app that fit all of these requirements. Either they were overly complicated, or too expensive, or were not cross-compatible. So I decided to do it myself.

Medieval Mini-Golf Management
Worked in a team of four to develop an interactive mini golf tournament experience. This project aimed to build a system that allows a sponsor to initiate a tournament and for golfers to sign up, track their score, and order drinks from a bartender.
