Benj is a full-stack software engineer with experienced in leading teams and building SaaS products.
Throughout his career Benj has worked with organizations of various sizes delivering measurable business impact and cultivating a positive team culture through mentorship, collaboration, and continuous learning.
You might catch him brainstorming on the next Bodega data viz, launching another browser extension, or building a new CLI tool. He lives in the terminal and has spent an embarrassing amount of time fixing his neovim config.
Off the clock you can find him brewing himself filter coffee, agonizing over chess & word puzzles, zipping around google maps for new places to pin, and training for his next triathlon.
Benj was great to work with at Marketplacer. He’s methodical, curious, and approaches problems with real structure and clarity. He’s excellent at mapping out system logic and user flows, which helps the whole team see the bigger picture and make better decisions. He’s proactive in technical discovery. You can give him a problem and some base requirements, and he’ll come back with thoughtful, well-considered solutions.
He genuinely cares about doing things properly, learning new things, and tackling tech debt instead of kicking it down the road. As an epic lead, Benj is reliable, collaborative, and not afraid to take ownership or run a meeting when it’s needed. He’s a real asset to any team.
