Colleagues describe him as "I worked with Ben when he started at Paylocity as an ASE, I was his peer and Technical Lead, and saw Ben grow and progress in his career before moving on. I cannot recommend Ben enough; he is one of the nicest, easy going and talented Engineers I’ve ever worked with. I want to highlight some things that made him a great IC. coworker and contributor to any company: • Highly skilled communicator, he is very natural at making connections, genuine in his interactions and communicates in a way that conveys all the right information. • Able to tackle very nebulous and ambiguous work. I’ve routinely given Ben very vague assignments, basically a desired outcome and end state and he’s always driven them to completion with very little oversight or help. • Good a making connections in the team and out. The team we worked on needed to work with 20 other teams to accomplish our goals and Ben would effortlessly make connections with those teams that helped us accomplish our goals. • Always eager to mentor, grow, teach and learn. I could always count on Ben to help onboard new people, mentor junior engineers and learn new things and bring it back to the team. • Ben is friendly, kind and helps create positive team and company culture, he’s always there to chat and encourage and putting others forward so they can grow. • He will jump in and learn new technology, frameworks, tooling with ease. I always trusted Ben to learn something first, let me know if it was a fit and then teach me and the team. It’s hard to overstate how valuable Ben was to the team and his contributions to our initiatives and outcomes. Even years after his departure he is someone I keep in touch with and hope one day to work with again. If you have the opportunity to hire Ben I would wholeheartedly recommend that you do so, he’ll be of great benefit to your team and company.", "I was the product manager working with Ben's team. He was always the one I went to for hard problems and complex projects. I collaborated with Ben on an extremely challenging integration between two products, and he helped me design an architecture that was beneficial to users while saving time and money. In this project, he developed deep subject matter expertise in two different codebases and tech stacks. He used that understanding to educate product managers and designers on trade-offs and design. Ben was also a critical link for me to platform teams, his work ensure our project stayed on time and dependent teams delivered what we required. Not only was Ben a talented technical thinker, but he was also a great teammate, bringing levity to difficult situations and remaining calm under pressure. Lastly, I always saw Ben take the opportunity to educate and mentor junior engineers, ensuring we reduced bottlenecks and leveled up multiple teammates.", and "Ben and I worked on the same team for about 2 years at Dropbox. We both joined at around the same time, and he quickly stood out and demonstrated his strong full stack engineering talent. Ben delivered several large projects for the team, and showed he has a clear understanding of multiple programming languages and frameworks. He can take large, complex requirements and break them into intuitive, simpler pieces that are understandable and manageable. His projects are detailed, well planned, and intentionally constructed to meet their goals while having minimal impact on maintenance burden for the team. He also heavily emphasizes quality and usability in all of his work. Additionally, Ben is a team player and makes himself available to collaborate with team and unblock others. He helped me countless times when I was stuck with a difficult problem, we could always talk it through and find a path forward. He also passes on his engineering knowledge, and I use many of the techniques he taught me when implementing and debugging code, and writing tests. He makes a concerted effort to make the team stronger and level up those around him. Ben is a very strong engineer and I really enjoyed working with him."
