The hardest problem in programming is saying a word out loud for the first time in front of other people that you’ve read a million times but never heard anyone else say out loud.
About Me
Hi, I’m Ben, a front-end web developer in Greenville, SC. In my free time I enjoy biking, hiking, gardening, exploring Greenville, learning new things, and hanging out at our awesome public library.
I create fun, innovative, accessible, and fast websites. This includes award-winning front-end development as well as building out custom Drupal and Wordpress backends with an eye towards usability.
