Curiosity as a Driving Force

As a child, I preferred being with adults over the playground – planets, black holes, I wanted to understand everything. I was once told I'm like a sponge. That hasn't changed.

Shaped by Different Cultures

Four years at an international school in Manila showed me that you can achieve more than you think – if you persist. Along the way, I got to know other cultures and picked up solid English skills.

Analytical Thinker

I'd rather plan thoroughly once than realize halfway through that it doesn't fit. Research, think it through, then implement – that's how solutions that last are created.

Tinkerer & Maker

I find it fascinating to create something with my hands. Developer, yes, but electronics or hardware don't scare me off. If something interests me, I try it out.

Balance & Discovery

When I'm not at the computer, you'll find me underwater, under the stars, or somewhere in nature. Diving, astronomy, and traveling are my balance – all three share the feeling of discovering something new.

"What stood out about Ben even as a small child was his patience. When something interests him, he wants to know how and why it works. Getting to the bottom of things, questioning, optimizing, solving – all with this incredible patience and the will to never give up."

"He could immerse himself in building Lego for hours while other kids had long given up. Ben is diplomatic, honest, and super reliable."

"Water is one of his favorite elements, right next to stargazing and space. It wouldn't have surprised me to see him as an astronaut."
