Software Development Intern
Blacksburg, VA
Ben is a Senior in material’s science and engineering department at Virginia Tech, graduating in May of 2015. As a student, Ben has focused his education on the field of semi-conductor research and sustainable technologies. He has gotten involved with community action through the student run radio station of Virginia Tech, WUVT FM 90.7 Blacksburg, and is a big believer in relying on the community to provide solutions and make educated decisions.
Ben became interested in Follow My Vote in its beginnings, as it was a way to promote sustainable energy legislation and understand where the holds in passing this legislation lie. He hopes to be able to give insight and ideas to the Follow My Vote team, as well as learn and grow his web development skills in order to create a secure, transparent voting platform.
