About me

Hey there! I’m Ben, a product engineer from Charleston SC, USA. You might know me as someone who uses and builds Warp, a product that I genuinely think is the future of development. You might also know me from my short whiteboard videos breaking down all sorts of topics (React Server Components, HTMX, and SQLite to name a few).

Heck, maybe you know me as the inventor of Astro. I didn't invent Astro. But my time there definitely channeled my love for design into a love for making development easier.

I've been a web programmer since the pre-npm days. This taught me some... Bower-ful lessons on what it takes to build scalable software. It's a lot more than JQuery and a dream.

I've since picked up every meta-framework you can think of, and even invented my own. As much as I love building web experiences, I've realized I'm into tech for the tech itself. So, I've devoted myself to helping you build better software. Through tools, through videos, through puns, and a love for Rust (...and JavaScript I guess).
