Ben Podoll

Over the last 20+ years I've been developing innovative software solutions for small, medium and large scale companies. I pride myself on my ability to solve problems quickly and enjoy challenging opportunities. I have a wide array of expertise spanning web to server-side development, utilizing cloud environments, mainly focused around Linux/Java/Groovy/Kotlin/Micronaut and all things open source. I'm a big proponent for creating repeatable and automated scripts whenever possible. I believe that a highly iterative approach to software development is key to a successful project.
