Hello. My name is Ben, and it's a pleasure to meet you. I am currently CTO at Backbone. I enjoy focusing on integrating design principles with software engineering practices. I have particular interests in distributed systems, code quality, security, and software engineering best practices, provisioning and managing infrastructure, and creating resilient systems with an emphasis on correctness and stability.

I embrace the challenges of working on a all aspects of shipping software, from direct conversations with users, to designing and implementing features and systems that address their needs.
