Drex Benjamin
I'm a full-stack developer and data analyst, skilled in React, TypeScript, and data analysis. I offer elegant solutions that connect advanced web development with actionable insights.
My journey into the world of tech began early, thanks to my dad, a computer science enthusiast himself. He had me "moonlighting" as the family's tech support from the tender age of 12 - nothing like fixing your dad's friends' computers to build character, right? But jokes aside, those experiences laid a solid foundation for my future in tech.
The real spark ignited in high school when I created my first "guess the number" Python game.
Today, I'm proficient in cutting-edge technologies that power modern web development and data analysis. My toolkit includes React, Next.js, and Svelte for building performant and responsive front-end applications. On the backend, I leverage Go to create robust and scalable systems. I'm passionate about using these powerful tools to craft efficient, data-driven solutions that address complex challenges and deliver real value.

In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, staying ahead means embracing continuous learning and adapting to new innovations. I believe that to truly excel in this field, one must cultivate a mindset of curiosity, always seeking to expand their knowledge and skills.
When I'm not immersed in code or data, I love to kick back on the soccer field, where I can enjoy some teamwork of a different kind. I'm also an avid follower of current events, always eager to stay informed about the latest happenings in tech, politics, and global affairs. To round out my interests, I enjoy experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, and somethimes travel.
