Senior🎓
Top SchoolBen Goebel is a software engineer and US Exploration Lead at StarkWare with a decade of experience building and operating large-scale systems across embedded devices, RF networks, and cloud infrastructure. He brings a full-spectrum perspective from hands-on application development to DevOps and systems administration, designing efficient, maintainable solutions for set-top boxes, CPE, and production video operations. At StarkWare he creates developer-facing content and tooling to help engineers build on StarkNet, and has contributed to notable open-source work on blockchain primitives—implementing Bitcoin block verification, Ethereum trie structures, and smart contracts in Go, Cairo, and Solidity. Former roles at Charter, T-Mobile, and Layer3 TV reflect strong cross-team leadership in architecture, monitoring, and telemetry for thousands of devices. Based in Denver, he combines rigorous engineering discipline with a knack for translating complex systems into practical, teachable artifacts. Colleagues describe him as quietly curious—“long time listener, first time caller”—who surfaces subtle system-level optimizations that improve reliability and operability.
