Location: New York, New York, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/benpall

I'm a full stack software engineer who stretches the definition of "stack". I may spend much of my day working with tech, but I'm always thinking about the bigger picture, from UX design to product strategy. At the end of the day, I'm a problem solver who sometimes uses code to solve those problems. 
Outside of work, I'm also an occasional New York Times crossword contributor.
