Summary
Ben Thompson is a Software Systems Engineer based in Seattle with 11 years of hands-on experience building large solutions in C, Java, Python, and JavaScript. He pairs a formal CS education from Western Washington University and Cascadia College with a pragmatic, self-taught drive that surfaces in solving systems-level problems and integrating across stacks. Currently at Shannon & Wilson, he focuses on reliable, maintainable engineering for real-world applications, bringing both low-level language expertise and high-level design sense. Colleagues would describe him as a practical tinkerer who enjoys untangling legacy complexity and automating repeatable workflows. Ben’s blend of formal study and autodidactic roots gives him a knack for translating ambiguous requirements into working, well-tested software.
