Ben is a largely self disciplined programmer. His zest to find solutions and unfettered methodology lend familiarity to existing language paradigms including the procedural C, C# and ActionScript 3; the functional F# and Caml; and most recently Python and Ruby. Ben has applied his functionality first philosophy to embedded software and theatre electrics as well as the bread & butter workstation and server projects for IT support industry clientele. Ben is currently designing a parallel functional language he describes as “the language I wish I’d learned” which will debut on the .Net CLR; and also hopes to, in time, publish a cogent quantum physics handbook.
