 Hi,

 My name is Ben Fisher. I'm seeking to join a team where my work has a positive impact on people's lives, and so I'm moving my career
 towards biotech. Benchlink looks like a great place for both technical quality and contributing to scientific discovery. The software
 project I put together, "ViperCard", was a success, and I'm looking forward to my next challenge.

 I bring both experience working as part of a big corporation, where I gained communication, team collaboration, and large 
 codebase/dataset skills, and experience working on my own, where I needed end-to-end knowledge (design to prototype to production to 
 deployment, TypeScript to Python to database schema), code architecture abilities, and planning/schedule prioritization to drive the
 project forward. Over the years, I've collected useful engineering practices and intuition (e.g. how to organize code for testability,
 how to keep a growing codebase maintainable).

 I enjoy working on frontend code with JavaScript/React and designing APIs for backend endpoints, and would love to learn more about life
 science (I recently wrote a small tool in C that imported FASTA to search for similar regions in DNA). My colleagues say Benchling is 
 known for good software quality, and when I played around with it to learn more about the product, I could see how useful it would be to
 set up templates for experiments. I resonate with the Benchling values, and the projects sound fascinating, particularly the computation
 platform and its interesting associated challenges.

 Would like to talk and learn more,

 -Ben
