Benjamin has been a web application programmer since the mid-90's and has been an owner/member of worker cooperatives since 2007. His technical skills span *nix system administration, DevOps infrastructure (AWS, Docker, Jenkins), information systems architecture, and programming in several languages including PHP, Javascript/TypeScript, Ruby, Perl and Java. He specializes in technical leadership and complex systems migrations, with a particular gift for transforming ambiguous challenges into clear, actionable roadmaps.

Beyond pure technical work, Benjamin brings a systems-thinking approach informed by his studies in Permaculture, Targeted Currencies, and Neurolinguistic Programming, as well as his passion for intentional community and cooperative economics. He's drawn to projects that help build more regenerative, collaborative systems—whether that's through technology, alternative economic models, or immersive experiences.

Benjamin enjoys mentoring fellow team members, contributing to open-source, dabbling with hobbyist electronic projects on Raspberry Pi and Arduino, and creating and burning art with the Burning Man community.
