I care about using technology to solve real problems for real people. My work in healthcare SaaS and mentorship through Brothers@ shaped how I think about trust, access, communication, and impact. I bring that same mindset into technical work: listen first, repeat the question, understand the system, ask clarifying questions, solve clearly, and keep improving.

- Extracurricular Interests: Sports (NBA/NFL/NCAAF/NCAAM), Community Mentorship, Student Advocacy, Bowling, Darts, Lifting, Board/Card Games, and Watching Videos/Podcasts
I prefer email for quick questions and routine updates, I'm most responsive to my personal email (bensondevyn@gmail.com). If your message requires detailed context or attachments, please don't hesitate to send me that in an email and I'll make time to respond thoughtfully. For brainstorming or complex discussions, I’m a big fan of in‑person or video chats (Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, etc) — they help build understanding and it's always nice to say thank you face to face. If I don’t get back to you right away, a follow‑up email or Discord chat is absolutely fine (when I'm travelling, working, or networking at events, notifications can slip through).
I value transparency and honest feedback in both directions. For bigger conversations like project direction, team dynamics, or career growth, I prefer face-to-face or video so context does not get lost. For smaller implementation details, I’m comfortable using written comments, Discord, email, or project tools to keep decisions and follow-ups documented.
I try to give feedback with clarity, respect, and a focus on the work rather than the person. I also appreciate direct feedback early, especially when it helps me improve the product, communicate better, or support the team more effectively. Early communication always helps me improve and keeps projects running smoothly.
