About Me

Hi! I’m Ben, a Software Developer, passionate about front end and mobile development. With 10 years of experience, I’ve had the opportunity to work on applications used at the Paris Olympics to internal tools used in manufacturing processes.

Whether it’s writing code or exploring new challenges in UI/UX, I’m always seeking ways to grow and innovate. My journey has taken me through different industries, and along the way, I’ve developed a passion for building seamless, user-centric applications.

Outside of work, you’ll find me running or skiing in the mountains, always looking for new ways to stay inspired and connected with the world around me.

Thanks for visiting my site! Feel free to reach out if you want to collaborate, learn more about my work, or just say hi!

Hobbies

I’m passionate about pushing my limits and embracing the great outdoors. As an avid ultra runner, I thrive on the challenges of long-distance races, finding joy in the rhythm of my feet on the trail and the camaraderie of fellow runners. I also enjoy giving back to the running community by volunteering at trail races, serving as a course sweeper and helping at aid stations. Additionally, I participate in trail work, which allows me to contribute to the maintenance and preservation of the beautiful paths I love to run.

When I’m not running, you can find me scaling rock faces or carving through fresh powder on my skis. Both activities allow me to connect with nature in different ways, whether I'm navigating a challenging climbing route or enjoying the thrill of a downhill run. Each of these hobbies fuels my adventurous spirit and keeps me grounded in the beauty of the outdoors.
