About
I'm Ben — a Senior Systems Engineer at Dragonfly Health, where I spend my days in Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, Defender, Azure, and the networking and security layers that hold enterprise identity and endpoints together.
Outside of that, I build things. I run WebsiteThis, a web development and automation business, and I spend an unreasonable amount of after-hours time on a homelab that's less "hobby" and more "ongoing systems design exercise." Most recently that's meant building agent infrastructure — wiring LLMs into real tools against real systems, carefully, with the same instincts I apply to production identity work.
The common thread across all of it isn't a language or a platform. It's that I like understanding how systems actually work, and I like connecting things together until they do something useful on their own.
