Hi, I'm Ben Steinig, a software engineer focused on web and conversational AI development. I like exploring how AI and LLMs are changing the way we build and use software, and enjoy turning those ideas into real, usable projects.
Working alongside Dr. Mark Guzdial to develop programming tools to improve data literacy in social studies classes.
•
Built Scalar Web platform using MySQL and the CodeIgniter framework to implement custom JavaScript hooks.
•
Spearheaded creation of proprietary timeline generation tool using React & Firebase for use in high school classrooms.
•
Designed and developed manuals for high school social studies instructors to learn data visualization software, including Knight Lab's Timeline.JS, arcGIS Storymaps, and Google Charts.
