BENNY HIRED!

THANKS FOR THOSE WHO HELPED AND THANKS FOR STOPPING BY.

Howdy and thanks for visiting Ben Collin’s online portfolio. As a currently unemployed individual, I created this site to give potential employers everything they might need in one place.

Hire me for what? A meteorologist by degree, I’ve spent the last 5 years developing software for a private weather company.  I also have my own web project that I’m working on.  I’m self-motivated, creative, love to learn new things, and ready to take my career to the next level.

I am willing to relocate.

You can read a little about myself on the side and below I have listed some side projects that I have been working on in my free time.  My resume and contact information can be found above.

Thanks again for stopping by!  #hirebenny
