Hi, I'm Ben!

I'm a computer programmer (beep boop)

I graduated from Virginia Tech in May of 2022 with a B.Sc. in Computer Science. You can check out some details about my coursework and class projects on the Education page.

During that time, I was an intern for the OpenNMS Group! You can read a bit about my work for them on my resume. I was also an instructor for iD Tech Camps for two summers.

Programming is my passion. I like learning new things, and then using those new things to make other new things.

Here are a few of those new things I've made:

Plateau, a 2-dimensional life simulation game. This is the one I'm most proud of, even if it still isn't finished. I set out to make a video game on my own, teaching myself the basics of game development (using C# and the MonoGame framework), pixel art, and everything else I needed to know as the need arose. I also gained an appreciation for just how much work even small projects can be.
SheriffScorer, an Android scoresheet app for the Sheriff of Nottingham board game. I taught myself some Android development for this one.
10K+ downloads on Google Play, 4.5 ★ average review.
This website! I didn't have the chance to learn any web development while working on my undergraduate degree, but the plethora of online resources made it easy to learn the basics.

And yes, seagreen is my favorite HTML color. How'd you guess?
