Ben Davies

Software Engineering Student

I am a Software Engineering student who is curious, principled, loves problem solving and has an eye for detail. My skills extend far beyond the classroom. I have years of experience building full-stack applications and have made significant contributions to open source.

Outside of work I am intrigued by a variety of things – from computers and mathematics to music and phonology. I am studious and find a deep satisfaction in seeing a job well done.

I've also worked on projects using Proxmox VE, Openflow (for Allied Telesis Labs), Android and Java's C++ FFI (JNI, for the University of Canterbury). However, they were for internal R&D so I opted not to post them here.
