I’m Benji, an Israeli-American programmer building secure, clean, and effective systems. I use modern technologies to build software that avoids bloat and unnecessary complexity. I want to work on real and interesting problems in challenging areas that matter. I am an undergraduate student at Stanford University.
§ My Work
To see some of the things I do, you can:
- Read my writing on this site or in the Atom feed.
- Check out the projects I’ve shipped and the code I did it with.
- Sporadically tune in to my Owncast livestreams.
- Witness me tentatively embrace social media on Mastodon.
§ Hire Me
For the next three years, I’m available for in-person work anywhere in the world from June through mid-September. I’m interested in joining great teams who are pushing the envelope and want to give me a voice in designing product while I code my ass off.
During the school year, I’m looking for remote-first work, on projects both long- and short-term, concurrent with my studies.
If any of this speaks to you, give my CV a once-over.
§ Contact
You can contact me via email at: figbert@figbert.com. Encrypt your messages, if you would like, with age or PGP. If I am signing my messages I will use minisign.
Money can go to my Bitcoin, Monero, or ZCash addresses, where I will never see it again because I forgot how to use them.
§ Elsewhere on the Net
I have some friends. Some of them have blogs:
- Burning Silicon has content on machine learning, biotechnology, and cool research on many subjects coming out of Pittsburgh.
- Jacob Neplokh co-founded SMMR Software and introduced me to Tame Impala.
- R. Miles McCain is a schoolmate of mine and quick to remind you that it is not a matter of skill but rather will.
