Summary
Benjamin Massey is a software developer based in Oregon with a foundation in computer science and political science from the University of Oregon and roughly a decade of hands-on experience across research and industry roles. Since 2021 he has been building production software at Downstream, bringing practical engineering discipline to product work. His background includes research internships at Portland State University where he migrated MATLAB to Python and automated data pipelines, and a VR internship where he visualized drone pathing data and operated an AWS server. Benjamin combines research rigor with applied engineering—comfortable translating experimental results into maintainable code and documentation. He often sits at the intersection of data, visualization, and systems, able to move projects from prototype to deployed service. Colleagues note his knack for turning messy experimental datasets into clear, reproducible outputs.
