{ Benjamin Richardson }

I'm a software engineer who loves learning new things and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.

I grew up in Chicagoland and recently graduated from UW-Madison with a double major in mathematics and computer science.

Python, and Java are my languages of choice.

In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, cycling, games, and drawing.
