Ben Key
Developer, Thinker, Problem Solver
Welcome!
My name is Ben and I'm a software developer from Houston, Texas. I love finding creative new ways to tackle real-world problems and building full-scale applications with impact.
Outside of development, I also really enjoy hiking, bouldering, cooking, and studying mathematics in my free time. I'm always looking for my next adventure and finding ways to better myself.


Education
I received my Bachelors of Science degree from the University of Houston in May 2025. I graduated with a double major in Computer Science and Mathematics and a minor in Business Administration.
I was also heavily involved in CougarCS, the largest computer science student organization on campus. I held several officer roles throughout my time there, including Director of CodeRED, the university's annual hackathon.
Experience
My professional experience started at Paycom. I was offered two consecutive software development internships during my last two summers of college, and then accepted an offer to return full-time after my graduation.
I worked with many different technologies during my time at Paycom, including React and TypeScript as well as Swift and UIKit. This early experience gave me a solid foundation to begin a lucrative career in software development.


Projects
Some of my software projects include:
- Avalon
- LDAR Mobile App
- Vibalry
- CougarCS Discord Bot
I have many other future plans and ideas too, so stick around to see what my next one will be!
