About
Building a more intentional life.
Ben is a builder drawn to projects that create leverage. Software is part of that, but so is the wider practice of paying attention to how life is designed.
This site is a place to document experiments, capture lessons, and make the process visible. Some work turns into products, some into habits, and some into clearer questions.
Hobbies & interests
A few of the things I keep returning to.
Building Software
Turning small ideas into useful products, with a bias toward simple tools, focused scope, and shipping real work.
Language Learning
Learning Mandarin as a long-term practice in consistency, listening, and connecting more deeply with Taiwan.
Travel
Exploring places slowly enough to notice their routines, food, sounds, and the details that make daily life distinct.
Watches & Watchmaking
An appreciation for mechanical objects, thoughtful proportions, and the craft required to make something enduring.
Reading
Reading across product, psychology, biography, and fiction to find better questions and new ways of seeing familiar problems.
