I'm Ben.
I like coding, designing, and investing.

I study computer science at Georgia Tech. I'm motivated by figuring out how people best use technology and building robust, scalable applications to tackle their problems. This past summer I worked at Nutanix on the NX Platforms Team, where I designed and implemented a dynamic scripting framework for automated hardware health checks in their recently released G8 platform. Today my code lives on thousands of servers across their enterprise network.

Over the last few years I've also refined my business acumen through involvement in the GTSF Investments Committee, an entirely student-run $1.7 million fund. As the Technology Sector Head, I spent a lot of time researching tech companies, understanding their users, and ultimately making investment decisions—all while guiding a team of 15 analysts to become better technologists and investors.
