(a.k.a. Ben Eisner)

I'm a lead software engineer focused on security, developer tooling, infrastructure, and platform engineering.

I began programming while serving as an infantry squad leader (0331) in the US Marine Corps. After my service, I studied computer science at Dartmouth College and started getting involved in startups. I was an early engineer at Cameo from 2017 to 2023, where I helped scale the platform to millions of users and later led its crypto initiatives. Currently, I'm the lead engineer at Cedar, a seed-stage startup building the operating system for urban development, where I own the infrastructure, DevOps, and security posture of the platform.

Outside of work, I study offensive security -- penetration testing, exploit development, and adversarial methodology. I'm currently pursuing my CPTS and OSCP certifications.
