Hi, I'm Ben -
I’m a seasoned tech professional, entrepreneur, CTO, and programmer in Portland, Oregon. I’ve managed teams of engineers, run a company, and as Chief Technology Officer, navigated and implemented complex proposals with Fortune 100 clients.

What is a 'fixer'?
"In Britain, a fixer is a commercial consultant for business improvement, whereas in an American context a fixer is often an associate of a powerful person who carries out difficult, undercover, or stealth actions, or extricates a client out of personal or legal trouble."
— Wikipedia
I’m interested in connecting with non-profits as a 'fractional CTO', technology strategist, and fixer.
I’m kind, good humored, extremely respectful and professional, and can explain complex topics clearly.

Street Books is a bicycle-powered mobile library, serving people who live outside.
As Street Books' technologist, among other things, I set up the website, connected payment systems, integrated (and help administrate) Keela non-profit CRM software, track analytics, installed in-office wifi, and help build graphics and the year-end reports, as well as anything else that comes up.
In other words: If you have a tech issue, I’m your fixer.
