About Me
Hi there! I'm Ben, a student at UC Berkeley studying Computer Science and Psychology.
I'm an aspiring full stack developer who strives to make responsive, beautiful frontends
without compromising on efficient, developer-friendly backends.
In addition to the typical software stack, you can often find me designing and developing games with my fellow developers at Hexcaliber Games.
Here are some of the tools I use most frequently:

Here are some of the tools I use most frequently:
HTML5/CSS/Sass/JavaScript/React (Native) for frontend development
Node.js and Django for backend development
C# with Unity for game development
Adobe XD for design
Linux of all flavors as my OS of choice
Featured Projects
Trackversal
Startup
With thousands of bikes, laptops, and other valuables getting stolen or misplaced everyday, many of us have considered getting a GPS tracker to find our items-- only to realize that they cost upwards of $15/month to operate!
Trackversal is a hybrid Bluetooth-GPS tracking system that aims to make asset tracking affordable and accessible by everyone. As the primary full-stack developer on the team, I ensure that our software stack (React Native, Node.js, MongoDB) is feature-rich and user friendly.
Trackversal is currently at the pre-seed funding stage and is supported by CalHacks Fellowship.

LaunchHacks
Event
In 2019, I organized a 24 hour long hackathon for 100 high school students in Fremont, CA.
As the lead organizer, I had the opportunity to work on many different aspects such as web development, contacting sponsors, and running workshops.
Organizing a hackathon for the first time took a lot of work, but I'm glad we were able to successfully contribute to the vibrant hackathon community!

Linux SysAdmin DeCal
I'm currently a head facilitator for the Linux Systems Administration DeCal, a student-run course managed by the Open Computing Facility that serves as a crash course for UNIX systems, server engineering, and computer security.
As a facilitator, I help develop course materials, manage logistics, and give lectures.
All course materials will be available online to everyone- so even if you're not a Berkeley student, feel free to join in on the fun!
