My name is Ben and this is my log stash.
The major components that make up who I am consist of music, technology, traveling, and noodle soup.
I'm a self-taught pianist, but I'm currently learning how to play the electric guitar - my true calling is the drums! My musical tastes vary day to day, but check out my Pandora Profile to see what songs makes my head bob.
My current work allows me to keep pace with the torrent of new tech by colliding me head first to new or unreleased products from smart automotive headunits, smart TVs & speakers, gaming consoles, mobile phones & tablets, virtual/augmented reality headsets or integrated services to say the least. I can't talk much about the unreleased stuff, but one of the more interesting projects I've had the pleasure to work on is the Pandora/Uber integration and background music support on Xbox One + Hololens. To stay on top of Software Quality Assurance community, I am one of the several admins that run this Facebook Group.

Aside from work and music, I love to travel. I've been coast to coast in America and multiple parts of Asia. My guilty pleasure destination will always be Tokyo, Japan - most of it due to the friendships I've made and the bowls of ramen I've conquered. But one thing for sure I can say about every destination: I always come back with a wider view of the world and of myself.
If you have read this far about me then you might as well know that I have an unbreakable fixation on noodle soup. During one of my stays in Tokyo, the apartment I lived in was right behind a 24/7 ramen shop - the lobby had a constant smell of Tonkotsu broth! Just get me a computer with internet, a guitar to strum, a constant supply of ramen and sleep will become a foreign concept.
