Profile: https://flows.cv/benbeizer

I’m a versatile and motivated software engineer with hands-on experience building full-stack applications, browser extensions, and backend APIs. Whether it’s crafting a Chrome extension that uses AI to map and autofill web forms, or improving backend codebases with robust testing and thoughtful design, I enjoy turning complex challenges into elegant, user-friendly solutions.

Currently, I’m contributing to CleverApply, where I’ve engineered tools to automate and streamline form processing using Google’s Gemini API and DOM scraping. I also bring teaching experience to the table—from coaching chess to teaching coding—which has sharpened my communication and problem-solving skills.

I thrive in collaborative environments that value curiosity, experimentation, and learning. I’m excited by opportunities where I can build meaningful software, grow as an engineer, and work on projects that make an impact.

Core skills: JavaScript (ES6+), Python, Ruby, Java, SQL | Node.js, Express, Flask, Ruby on Rails | MongoDB, PostgreSQL | Git, Docker, Vercel, Jest, RSpec

Let’s connect—I’m always happy to talk software, startups, or strategy!
