Ben Eichler is a Senior Backend Engineer, Shop Discovery at Shopify. He possess expertise in react.js, javascript, node.js, full stack web development, angularjs and 15 more skills. He is proficient in German. Colleagues describe him as "Ridiculously fast” is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Ben. I had the pleasure of working with Ben for over a year, first indirectly, then as a teammate, and later as his manager. In the time we worked together, I often relied on Ben to deliver and to deliver fast. It’s not uncommon for folks to still be debating the merits of one solution vs. another when Ben has already finished implementing both. At Triplebyte, we have a company value called “Default to Action”, and I can think of no one else who embodies this value more than Ben.", "Ben is one of the most productive and skilled product engineers on our team. He spearheaded the development of many crucial Triplebyte projects, including our company-side tutorial and our migration from Sass to Tailwind. Ben started at Triplebyte as a frontend-focused engineer, but over the course of his time here he showed a true desire for knowledge and expanded his skill set to cover the rest of the stack, even including infrastructure and devops work. He's confidently able to tackle any challenge we're facing. I strongly recommend Ben for your role. He's not only a great engineer but a great person to be around, and I hope I have the pleasure of working with him again in the future.", and "I worked with Ben at Triplebyte. We were often on projects together and we reviewed each other's code frequently. Ben is a fantastic engineer with especially strong React skills. He was always trying to find better ways to do things at Triplebyte. In particular he unified a lot of our logging and observability code, set up a consistent way to refer to geographical locations, and overhauled the async job system. These changes were large improvements to engineering QoL, on-call sanity, and code consistency. All of that was in addition to consistent, high quality feature work. I personally learned a lot from reading Ben's frontend code -- especially seeing how he used React hooks. Ben is humble and willing to change his mind, will move fast when needed, and will speak up when he sees something that needs to change, from a technical, user, or moral point of view. He's also great to chat to with many interesting hobbies, and he organizes a great ski trip :)."
