Bio
Abigail Gebo Ford
Ben is one of the hardest working people I have met along my career. He is continually finding new technologies, improving on his current skill sets and growing our internal knowledge and processes. Anything you give to Ben, he will go above and beyond and will always bring the teams and clients vision to life. He is always ready to answer any question, educate, mentor, and lead our team to success. Ben is a crucial part to our organizations success.
Ryan Keefer
Ben is one of the great examples of developers who continue to retool, improve, and spend downtime finding new technologies, and improving the ones already in his tool belt. He has a wonderful ability to see the big picture, but also manage the details. With any project, he takes the designer's vision, and the customer's intent and delivers on-time and with precision. Ben is also a great liaison, mentor and educator between departments, outside resources, and both internal and external stakeholders. Without hesitation, I would want his skill, personality, and demeanor as a part of any team I'm involved with in the future. Any company would benefit on a daily basis with Ben as a coder, leader, and educator within their organization.
