About
Ben is a recent Computer Science and Cognitive Science graduate from the University of California, Santa Cruz. After years of working with and training pre-Information Age adults, he recognizes that technology must be intrinsically accessible to be effective. He has design and research experience in Human-Computer Interaction and seeks to apply this to industry.
Outside of academics, Ben is the Outreach Chair for the Santa Cruz County Rotaract Club, where he regularly volunteers and coordinates yield programs for primarily first-generation high school students in the San Jose area. In his spare time, Ben is also an avid musician and photographer.
