    About me

    Who I am

    Hi β€” I'm Ben,
    I have a degree in music education, I used to be a teacher, and now I write programs.

    In my free time, I build things that are quietly useful. Tools that you forget that you use until you miss them. I also like to play around with game development every now and then.

    This site is a portfolio, a brand, and a blog all in one.
    Nothing is final. Everything is honest.

    What I do

    I specialize in building Flutter mobile apps and systems level tools (utilities, daemons, etc.), but I do genuinely enjoy programming, so I'm always open to trying something different. Who knows, that might be a good way to get a nice discount since I'd be less experienced at that thing...

    However, the main benefit I have to offer is a complete lack of administrative overhead. In human terms, that means that there are no layers to navigate and no corporate hierarchy to slow things down.

    It’s a direct line from you to me β€” no waiting for approvals and no delegating tasks across a huge team (so no standups). Just a simple process where your request turns into results without anything getting lost in translation.

    Projects

    Things I'm building
    Hasty
    A SwiftUI-inspired static site generator for Dart. Build HTML with HStacks, VStacks, and zero CSS stress!
    web library
    Offline Games
    A collection of 10 games that can be played completely offline!
    mobile game
    Things I've built
    zclip
    A clipboard manager daemon for X11 Linux. Store multiple strings, retrieve old ones, and even save them to a SQLite db for later use (can be read back into the daemon or used directly)!
    system tool
    Lash
    Labeled Bash. Like 'make' with no custom syntax, or 'just' as a much smaller binary!
    system tool
    File Watcher
    A lightweight, SHA-256 based file change detector in Zig for tracking additions, modifications, and deletions.
    system tool
    elsefix
    Bringing order to C-style syntax. Automatically decouple the brace from the else/catch keyword.
