# Eric Benson > Senior Software Engineer Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/ericbenson I solve hard problems and have fun doing it. As a full stack engineer, I have experience working on everything from user interfaces and REST APIs to architecting new services from scratch and everything in between. I am interested in pushing the boundaries of technological achievement. I'm looking to continue my professional development by overcoming challenges that require novel solutions, to collaborate on a high-performing engineering team which fosters a culture of quality and growth, and to join a company that is using leading edge technologies to change the world for the better. I have the most professional experience using Javascript, Node.js, AngularJS, MongoDB, LESS, CSS, and HTML, but am comfortable working with React, AWS, Docker, Jenkins, Gulp, Redis, jQuery and a host of other technologies. But as the technical landscape is constantly shifting, so are my skills. I enjoy the challenge of learning and incorporating new technologies while still adhering to the fundamental principles of computer science. My strongest assets as a software engineer are my ability to write comprehensible and maintainable code, to work autonomously as a member of a high performing team, and to learn and incorporate new technologies. My background has prepared me to contribute positively, and I have the drive, energy, and attitude needed to be successful. Outside of work, I am a sports fan, a board game fanatic, and a video game enthusiast. ## Work Experience ### Senior Software Engineer @ Treet Jan 2023 – Jan 2026 | San Francisco Bay Area At Treet, we helped apparel and lifestyle brands launch and operate their own branded resale marketplaces, enabling new revenue streams, stronger customer loyalty, and more sustainable product lifecycles.
