Summary
Benjamin Plate is a software development engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building full-stack web applications, Linux systems, and ML-powered features like depth estimation and gesture recognition. A UC Berkeley CS student turned Amazon SDE, he ships production-ready products and has experience integrating NLP/LLMs into browser tooling from his internship. At Berkeley’s Open Computing Facility he led a migration from Django to a React/Node stack and mentored new developers, combining technical execution with organizational leadership. As a startup co-founder he built a Bluetooth-enabled safety wristband and cross-platform React Native app that placed in a healthcare design competition, showing a knack for hardware-adjacent product work. Comfortable across cloud providers and external APIs, he brings practical experience from JumpCutter’s AI video tooling to large-scale engineering at Amazon. Based in Arizona, he pairs curiosity for ML and systems with a track record of moving projects from prototype to production.
