Hi! 👋 I'm Ben.

I've been a Seattle-based software development engineer since graduating from UC San Diego with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in 2023. I was admitted as a National Merit Scholar and was awarded the Shores Scholarship, the highest-valued merit-based scholarship available at UCSD. During my University career, I was a student government officer for three years and became President of the Kendo Club at UC San Diego.

I also practice kendo and play the guitar. I have achieved the rank of kendo 1-kyu and have had the privilege of practicing with:

• UC San Diego
• San Diego Kendo Bu
• The University of Washington
• Columbia Kendo Club
• Seattle Kendo Kai
