Benjamin was one of my coding partners during my early days in Microverse, During that time he has inspired me with his ways of solving problems, tackling technical issues, and writing great documentation he truly has all the qualities of a professional software developer. And whenever I had an issue, and I tried to reach out to him, he never refused to give a helping hand, with the same positive energy and attitude towards teamwork and collaboration. And if I had to pick someone to work with on a project, picking Benjamin will be the best choice.
