Background

About Benjamin Small

Committed. Goal-Oriented. Zealous Problem Solver. I am an enthusiastic Software Engineer with a background in Military Aviation Leadership and a BS in Industrial Engineering. I am a persistent individual who leads with example or position and cares deeply about co-workers and customers alike. Synchronization of short term-actions with long-term goals, prioritization, communication, and understanding requirements/core-problems are my strong suits. Solid foundation in software fundamentals, experienced with; Python, Java, AWS Cloud Infrastructure, VB, HTML, css, Javascript, php, data structures. Passionate about using technology to solve real world problems and delivering optimal user experience. I also enjoy, skiing, hiking, traveling, eating, and spending time with friends and family! Narratives: As an Engineer at AWS I designed and implemented a Step Functions and CodeBuild-powered system to automate customer offboarding and integrated this automation with cross-functional teams, thus reducing manual offboarding time from 3 weeks to less than 2 days, eliminating human error, and saving my team an estimated 72 engineering hours per month. As an intern at Clarisonic, I single-handedly created a program involving over lines of code and 30 pages of documentation that tracked key manufacturing statistics, and displayed, analyzed, and stored them for general consumption as well as supervisor appreciation. As an Aviation Platoon Leader and Assistant Operations Officer, planned and executed training events and coordinated/liaised deployment requirements to units across 8 various states that made our 600-soldier Battalion. I enabled the Battalion to safely conduct its mission in an austere deployment environment. Additionally, coordinated and executed combat aviation missions with my local assigned Platoon comprised of 20 Blackhawk pilots and crew-chiefs and over $120 million of equipment under my responsibility.
