Front end Developer

Hi, my name is Ben

Welcome to my portfolio - I'm glad you found me! I'm a web developer based in North Carolina.

About Me

I am a builder, or more accurately, a tinkerer by nature.

I love to build things, tinker with things, and understand how they work. From Legos to music and music equipment, I get an immense sense of satisfaction and fulfillment from building and improving things.

It's this passion and curiosity that led me to software development. Developing and improving applications provides an outlet for my creativity but more importantly, gives me an opportunity to learn, grow, and master a new craft. In my free time, I enjoy writing and playing music, disc golf, and surfing.

Random Restaurant Generator

Growing tired of the "What's for dinner?" conversations between my fiance, friends, and family, I built an app that would put an end to the debates by letting fate decide where we should go. Built using React and Tailwind.

This Portfolio

This portfolio was built using Next.js and Tailwind with the help of some shadcn/ui components. Perhaps overkill for these early iterations but I wanted to use a framework that would allow me extensibility.

An e-commerce template site built with Next.js, Tailwind, Mongodb, and Prisma. Complete with authentication, database integration for storing products, users, and their carts, and search capabilities.
