About Ben Eichler

Backend and data engineer, comfortable running complex projects, working at high scale, all the good stuff. Love Ruby but comfortable with various stacks and quick to learn new technologies. Best friends with Claude.Open to hearing about interesting opportunities in 1) industries with pro-social impact, especially climate/energy, or 2) consumer tech I use and enjoy (non-exhaustive examples: Readwise, AirBnB, Obsidian, Chewy)Absolutely zero interest in working in defense again, at least until ~2029
