Colleagues describe him as "Ben is an intelligent & driven young man. He joined us for a summer on the Scaled Agile team here as a Release Manager for a ~75 team operation. Focusing on creating data visualizations & alerts to improve our operation of the SDLC, he jumped right in with 2 feet, got up to speed quickly, and produced value that will last far longer than the short time he was with us. If you're looking for someone to get up to speed quickly and deliver value, Ben's your guy! " and "Ben joined us on the Scaled Agile Delivery Team as our Release Management Intern over the summer of 2018 while I served as a Scrum Master on the team. Having Ben join us felt like gaining a new full time employee; he learned the ropes in incredibly short order and proceeded to embed himself as a vital contributor on any and all of the projects brought into the team. Ben showed a lot of aptitude as a software engineer. He speedily grasped the concepts we introduced to him, and before we knew it, he was aptly teaching us about the novel concepts he wanted to introduce into the repositories. Beyond his clear technical capabilities, Ben also showed a strong understanding of business operations. He rapidly became a default invitee on all meetings and it was very clear Ben understood the decorum of professional meetings and knew when it was the right moment to contribute. Additionally, Ben showed what a strong speaker he is in his final intern presentation, which was delivered to the rest of Pega Technology, including senior leadership. He showed strong confidence and poise, and he left the audience more than satisfied. It’s clear to me Ben has a passion and a talent for both the technical side and business side of corporate tech operations, and I’m eagerly waiting to see how he continues growing these skills he already has an innate aptitude for!"
