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.

Personal projects on this site are mine, built on my own time. None of it represents Dragonfly Health, and Dragonfly Healthdoesn't endorse this site or anything on it.
