Top SchoolBenjamin Schell is a Principal Member of Technical Staff with 17 years of software engineering experience building resilient, performance-focused UI platforms for both startups and Fortune 100 companies.

Comfortable as a one‑person consultancy founder or as a technical lead in large organizations, he blends low-level performance work (including hardware-integrated solutions) with high-level architecture and product-minded engineering. He’s known for coaching teams through adoption of new capabilities and for creating practical tooling—such as a Slack UI test harness—that makes complex integrations reliably testable in production-like scenarios.
