Ben Demaree
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.
Mentoring junior engineers and collaborating with peers are essential parts of software engineering and technology leadership, and I strive to support and create high-integrity environments, and consider psychological safety and a culture of introspection, equity, and collaboration essential.
