About Ben Randolph
Why did I join the Turing School of Software & Design to learn backend development? Like many 20-somethings, I started out unsure of what I wanted from a career. I joined a drilling rig to get on my feet — and stayed for 16 years.Over time, I worked my way up to supervising operations across four states. While I’m incredibly proud of what I accomplished in the oilfield, I found myself living out of hotels and airports, questioning where I truly wanted to invest my time and energy.The lessons I learned in that environment were invaluable: how businesses operate from the ground up, how to lead and communicate with empathy, and how to solve problems under pressure. Along the way, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Project Management and Business Administration from CSU Global — which gave me not only technical knowledge, but also the tools to become a lifelong learner.My career reflection brought me to software development. The mindset I developed over the years — systems thinking, problem-solving, team collaboration — translated naturally into engineering. I turned to Turing School of Software & Design to build the technical foundation I needed in backend development, focusing on Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and object-oriented programming.Since then, I’ve contributed to production full-stack Rails applications in both collaborative and solo settings. I’ve built RESTful APIs, integrated third-party services, and written background jobs to support scalable features. I thrive on backend challenges — whether it\'s performance tuning, streamlining data flow, or debugging the tough stuff.Today, I’m looking to join a team that values clean code, mentorship, and product-minded engineering. I thrive in remote-first environments and am especially drawn to companies building tools that help people work smarter or live better. My approach is fueled by curiosity, collaboration, and a bit of grit.Let’s connect — I’d love to hear about what you’re working on.
