Hi, I’m Ben.
I bring ideas to life.
My world brings together hardware, mathematics, and food. I enjoy understanding how things work—and making them with care.
Work
Stealth Startup
November 2025 — PresentSkydio
June 2020 — November 2025I prototyped drones, controllers, and docking stations, supported EE and RF teams with complex board rework, and built custom test fixtures. I also led an eight-person team on the initial controller build and trained more than 40 manufacturing teammates in soldering.
Eventbrite
December 2017 — April 2020I helped prototype EBPay, Eventbrite’s first RFID cashless system, and built and maintained more than 300 RFID access-control devices. My work spanned board assembly, debugging, field testing, and onsite support for live events.
Artemis Networks
February 2014 — December 2017I supported pCell wireless development through RF hardware prototyping, electronics assembly, system testing, and deployment. I built test rigs and server systems, helped with MATLAB analysis, and developed experiment procedures that contributed to patent work.
Patents
Spatial diversity in wireless systems
Methods for improving distributed wireless communication through antenna selection, user selection, and transmit-power balancing.

Food & cooking
Thai roots, Japanese cooking, and experiments in my home kitchen. Food is a way to keep learning, share traditions, and bring people together.
Notes & discoveries
Thoughts, experiences, and things I’m learning along the way.
