About

Benjamin was born and raised in Middlesex, New Jersey. Always having a love for puzzle solving, while in high school he naturally found a love and talent for programming. Starting out with Java he quickly figured out the complex ideas and functionality that could be expressed by putting together simple computer commands. Yearning for more knowledge to build the creative ideas in his mind, Ben learned the further intricacies of other high level programming languages, as well as digital circuitry.
