Intro

Hi, my name is Ben Bynum. I'm a Software Developer.

I have experience creating technical solutions with Java and several other technologies while working as an Internet Marketing Analyst a Software Engineer, and a Web Developer. I've had the opportunity to work with technolgies ranging from Java and Linux to C# and the .NET Framework while in those positions. I am a fast learner and a strong self starter. I would say my biggest strength is my driven personality that keeps me working at a problem until I find the best solution.

In my spare time, I enjoy photography, cycling, playing guitar, reading, working on IoT projects, and spending time with friends. If you would like to know more about any of these, or about my work, just ask me! You can find my contact information - as well as a form to contact me - toward the bottom of this page.
