“I've worked with Ben for over a decade and he consistently brings creativity, critical thinking and excellence to every project. He embodies a rare combination of technical know-how and good communication skills, which means he can bridge that gap between a high level discussion of what is needed and the actual technical requirements it will take to make meeting those needs a reality. He's also cheerful and really fun to work with; icing on the cake!”

— Kelly ClosePrincipal Engineer, Spheros Environmental

“I hired Ben to design an interactive mapping application for my research project at the University of Pennsylvania. We worked together over multiple contracts after the first one was a success. He developed a sophisticated web application that works well and looks great, was incredibly communicative and punctual. He also showed genuine enthusiasm in the project itself and made very helpful suggestions that showed expert understanding of user behaviors and mapping applications. My employer had a lot of bureaucratic steps to go through for financial and administrative paperwork, and he was professional and kind the whole way. He made time to answer questions and troubleshoot with great work ethic. Working with him was an absolute delight and I would do so again in a heartbeat. ”
