Benjamin Herson

Senior Software Engineer @Alaska Airlines

Starting as a contractor through Rooster Park, my successes with the Lounge Team and helping with our wildly successful Hackathon earned me a full-time position as a Senior Software Engineer on the Manage Reservations team. Since joining Manage, I\'ve helped lead the effort for replacing a major product, co-organized an even mightier Hackathon (with projects finding their way onto the product roadmap), and helped resolve a difficult blocker to a feature release so big it was covered in the Seattle Times and other media (automating travel documentation).
