Summary
Ben Chrisman is a web programmer with 12 years of hands-on experience building member-facing and productivity web applications, primarily on the LAMP stack with Zend Framework 2 and MySQL. Based in Illinois, he pairs solid back-end PHP expertise with front-end skills in HTML, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery and Bootstrap to deliver polished, usable interfaces. At CEFCU he extended intranet and member systems, working within Agile teams and Git workflows, and previously led web and e-commerce efforts that tied ProductCart to ERP systems and improved online revenue. He’s comfortable bridging development and design—creating marketing assets in Adobe tools while also integrating email and inventory systems—so he excels at cross-functional, impact-focused projects. Colleagues would describe him as a practical, up-to-date engineer who prefers team-based challenges and steady adoption of PHP best practices.
