Benjamin Deininger is a Staff Software Engineer at Intelligent Medical Objects (IMO). He possess expertise in java, linux, agile methodologies, test driven development, software development and 7 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I have worked with Ben for the last three years at Connexta, Octo, and CACI. He is an incredible leader, coworker, and friend. Ben is an irreplaceable asset with an immeasurable value that will undoubtedly bring success where ever he goes. He has proven himself time and time again to be someone that companies are not willing to let go of easily because of his skill sets, work ethic, calm demeanor, humble approach, and friendly personality.
His leadership skills mirror those that people write about in books. He is tactful, empathetic, and understanding. He recognizes talent and makes sure that the people he is managing have everything they need to be successful. He is always willing to help them meet a new goal or help them learn a new skill. Ben will also go out of this way to protect his team from any distractions or negative office politics, with reassurance, strength, and grit. I have seen him fight and negotiate for his team and their work with a finesse that would rival an expert negotiator.
Watching him lead his teams, I have come to appreciate the way that he takes the time to recognize everyone on the team for the work that they do. He never misses an opportunity to give someone the credit they deserve for their hard work. He also will go out of his way to make sure that the correct people are being recognized. That the hard work that someone has done is not given credit to someone else.
His talent and skill set is innumerable. The problems I have seen him solve, that no one else was able to, in a matter of a week or less, have become so common to me that it is just a normal day. There is no task, no skill, that Ben is not able to pick up quickly and become proficient in.
He goes out of his way to educate his internal team and people outside of his team on issues that he has also faced and how to solve them. He is humble about his work and skill set but is always willing to help anyone in need.
He doesn't slack off. He is always quick to respond to messages and quick to fix issues. He will put in extra hours to try to fix something — even on vacations — to make sure the user's experience is not compromised and the system does not fail. He puts in the same effort to make sure things are done right, testing his code before deploying to prevent any of the established code from breaking.
He is one of the most talented developers I have had the privilege of working with within my entire career. It never ceases to amaze me when he solves an issue with ease that even the most skilled members of a team cannot figure out. I strongly believe that if we had more developers in the world that were as skilled, hard-working, and, humble as Ben, we would be able to solve the world's problems in a few keystrokes." and "Ben is a tremendous engineer and a mentor all other mentors should aspire to be. He demonstrates a deep commitment to bettering himself and those around him both technically and interpersonally. His incredible work ethic is matched only by his humility and willingness to own complex solutions. Ben is the kind of leader you want when tackling a hard problem. He's your go-to when white boarding through an intricate architectural design. He's the example you want to set when on-boarding new developers. He's outstanding in all ways that can be measured, and I consider myself blessed to have spent 18 months working and learning from him at Connexta."
Listed skills include Java, Linux, Agile Methodologies, Test Driven Development, and 8 others.
