My Story
Hello ! My name is Ben and I enjoy creating things that live on smart phones and on the internet. My programming love story started from a Python Udemy course I decided to take out of curiosity, and shortly after I knew that this is what I want to do. Several months later I have opted to pursue a bachelor in Software Development.
I am Software Development (Honours Bachelor of Technology) student at the Seneca College, who focuses on Web Development and expanding my knowledge far beyond the curriculum. I enjoy working in a team environment but can also run projects and tasks independently. I am motivated to advance and expand my skill set through mentorship and challenging projects.
In my free time, I love playing soccer and I am a big fan of AC Milan. I also enjoy boulder climbing, going the gym, reading books (mainly science), and meditating.
My favorite quote:
“Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” - Benjamin Franklin
