Sacramento, California, United States
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBen Eklund is a pragmatic software engineer with four years of experience building internal web and desktop tools that streamline engineering workflows at Inductive Automation. He combines full-stack skills—React, TypeScript/Node, Kotlin, Java, and SQL—with hands-on support expertise in SCADA systems, diagnosing complex issues with tools like Wireshark and Java thread/heap analysis. As a Support Application Engineer he translates operational pain points into automation and dashboards that boost team efficiency, having moved from frontline technical support to application ownership. A Sacramento State Computer Science graduate, he pairs production engineering with a persistent curiosity for systems design — evidenced by personal game-development projects in C++ (Raylib) and C# (Godot). Colleagues rely on him for cross-functional collaboration and practical solutions that bridge customer-facing support and internal developer productivity. His public portfolio and GitHub reflect a focus on readable, maintainable tooling rather than flashy open-source fame.
