Ben Jenkins

Sr. Software Engineer | Former Instructor & Humanoid Robot Engineer

About Me

I'm a senior software engineer, recently at Hearst where I contributed to a React Content Management System, used by 50+ newspapers & magazines. Including Cosmopolitan, Esquire, & Men's Health.

Formerly a software engineering instructor at General Assembly. I have had the opportunity to teach over 500 new developers in demand skills, such as React, Express, & Django that they used to land jobs as full-stack developers.

Previously I developed software for humanoid robots which delivered therapy lessons to children with Autism.

Alongside work, I completed a Masters in Software Engineering from Harvard University's Extension School and a BA in Computer Science from TESU.
