Howdy! I'm Ben Shiller, a Software Engineer passionate about high-performance, resilient, and maintainable systems.

It all started in my sophomore year of high school when my curiosity about how computers worked led me to Udacity. I enrolled in Introduction to Programming and wrote my first lines of Python. That course lit a spark, and soon I was experimenting on a Raspberry Pi blinking LEDs, modding Minecraft, and even synthesizing music. I loved seeing how code could bring hardware to life.

I went on to study Computer Engineering at Texas A&M University, where I gained a solid foundation in both Computer Science and Electrical Engineering. That's where I discovered the power of C++ and the thrill of having full control over a program.

I joined Innovative Signals Analysis after graduating and have spent the past five years developing event-driven microservices for high-performance, fault-tolerant systems, leveraging technologies such as Kubernetes, Python, C++, RabbitMQ, and S3.

Alongside my professional work, I earned an M.S. in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin. My graduate studies deepened my understanding of parallel computing, operating systems, and machine learning.

Today, I'm exploring Rust to build secure, efficient software that interacts closely with hardware.

I'm always eager to connect with fellow engineering enthusiasts! Explore my GitHub or drop me a message via LinkedIn to chat.
