Benjamin Allen is a software engineer with 9 years of experience currently building products at Gravitate after a multi-role tenure at Affirma. He holds dual BS degrees in Computer Science (summa cum laude) and Mathematics from the University of Arkansas and has supported academic research by designing web tools for NLP researchers. Benjamin enjoys designing high-quality software and experimenting with playful, instructive side projects—examples include an emulator for teaching assembly and a hands-on exploration of JPEG-like compression with variable block sizes. He combines practical production experience with a curiosity for systems, reverse engineering, and image processing research. Based in the Greater Fayetteville, AR area, he brings a blend of disciplined engineering and creative problem-solving that surfaces in both client work and unconventional technical prototypes.
