Ben C's Portfolio

I'm a 20-year-old developer from Pennsylvania, USA. I first started programming with Unity games but then quickly began doing web development and then expanded into anything I was interested in. I've been programming for about eight years now and hope that I can continue to pursue a career in this industry.

After programming on my own for about 3 years, I went to trade school for Information Technology Programming and learned about best practices and the software development life cycle. I participated in both SkillsUSA and TSA and was awarded 1st place in states for Video Game Design in TSA. I also got 1st place in Computer Programming at states and 4th at nationals in SkillsUSA. Throughout my time at trade school, I received my OSHA, IC3, and Pennsylvania State Skills (Information Technology Programming) certifications.

Also during my time at trade school, I joined an online community of modders for the game Outer Wilds. This community helped me go above and beyond with my development, continually motivating me to try new things and publish my work.

I'm currently in college majoring in Computer Science. I'm hoping to graduate in 2026 with a Bachelors and a minor in Professional Technical Writing. I am currently doing research on ASL translation with the Computer Science department. I'm also developing a web interface for us to use for programming competitions.
