Benjamin Lien
CS grad from UC Santa Cruz building products that are helpful at scale.
I build across full-stack and data engineering.
I recently graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Computer Science. I enjoy working where thoughtful engineering meets real product value — using data to deliver meaningful insights, and shipping interfaces that feel great to use.
Right now I'm a Full-Stack Developer at Eclypse Media Group, and I'm open to new-grad software roles where I can build at scale.

Currently building & looking
Shipping a media-showcase site at Eclypse with a reusable component library and Framer Motion polish, and prepping it for AWS deployment.
Open to new-grad software engineering roles — full-stack and data.
There's usually something playing while I build — here's what's on rotation.
