Ben's ability to bridge the worlds of marketing and technology is second to none. He expertly teaches new and complex technical concepts to marketing and business teams, and is equally skilled at translating marketing requirements and best practices into actionable technical language for dev teams. Ben is a star developer who skillfully balances his commitment to high-quality work with tight project deadlines. On top of that, he's always happy to lend a hand to any and all team members. I can't wait till we get to work together again, Ben!
