Hey! I'm Benjamin Yee!

I am a proud Los Angeles native, having grown up in the beautiful town of San Marino, CA. Growing up surrounded by exceptional talent, I quickly learned the importance of curiosity and humility. Embracing a humble attitude opened doors to new opportunities and experiences that I would have never imagined.

Career Journey

My career has taken me on an exciting journey through various fields and roles in technology. I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a degree in Electrical Engineering and worked at Amazon Go in Seattle. During my time, I got to explore various EE fields, including manufacturing, Firmware development, and hardware design. I left in 2024 to move back to LA and grow my skills in various stacks of software development. I had the opportunity to learn ML/AI industry standards and freelance as an full-stack IOS developer to build my very own app. For more technical details, check out my projects page or download my resume!

Hobbies and Interests

Outside of work, I am very active with my hobbies. I climb at least twice a week at a V9 | 5.12C level, mainly at Hollywood Boulders and The Post in Pasadena. I grew up playing tennis and still actively rally at a USTA 4.5 level. Recently, I picked up Pickleball, which I enjoy as an accessible and social sport. Additionally, I have a dog named Remy, who I've raised since she was a puppy. She kept me sane through the pandemic and is a wonderful companion. These activities not only keep me fit but also provide a perfect balance to my tech-focused career.
