ben-mini

Hi đź‘‹,

Ben, here! I’m the Chief of Staff at Kibu - focusing on Product, Customer Success, and Ops. I live in NYC. I’ve worked as an automation engineer, project manager, and solution architect. My most foundational curiosities lie in product, edtech, strategy, and where our next generations will go from here. Deep in my heart, I am an optimist. I believe most people do smart things for smart reasons, and I enjoy thinking over all forces of a problem, and how to best manipulate them to a desirable outcome.

I made ben-mini to jot down “mini essays”. A mini essay is a stress-free way for me to record remarkable ideas from blogs, books, podcasts, friends, or my own experience. By forcing me to articulate my thoughts, my goal is for ben-mini to help me become a better technologist, strategist, and writer.

Oh, and my logo was inspired by the iPhone game Cube Runner, which was perhaps the first “holy shit” tech moment of my life.
