The Rise of Editor Benjamin
Benjamin’s journey began long before Keezy. co was a twinkle in anyone’s eye. As a kid growing up in the suburbs of Seattle, he’d spend hours tinkering with computers, much to his parents’ bewilderment. “I wasn’t just playing games,” Benjamin recalls with a chuckle. “I was fascinated by how they worked, always trying to peek under the hood.”
This curiosity led him down a path that would shape his future. While other kids were trading baseball cards, Benjamin was swapping code snippets and building his first websites. It wasn’t long before his hobby turned into a full-blown obsession. By the time he hit high school, Benjamin was already freelancing as a web developer, earning pocket money and invaluable experience.
Breaking into the Industry
Breaking into tech is challenging, but Benjamin made it look like a cakewalk. After graduating with honors in Computer Science from Stanford University, he cut his teeth at several startups, each one a stepping stone to more incredible things. His ability to learn quickly and adapt to new technologies set him apart from his peers.
Here’s a quick rundown of Benjamin’s early career milestones:
- 2010: Interned at a Silicon Valley startup, where he developed a mobile app that garnered 100,000 downloads in its first month
- 2012: Launched his first successful app, a productivity tool that caught the attention of tech blogs and investors
- 2014: Led a team of developers at a mid-sized tech firm, overseeing the creation of a cloud-based software suite
- 2016: Consulted for Fortune 500 companies on digital transformation, helping traditional businesses embrace modern tech solutions
Each of these experiences added to Benjamin’s toolkit, shaping him into the well-rounded tech guru he is today. “Every role taught me something new,” he says. “From coding best practices to team management, I was soaking it all in.”
Joining Keezy. co
When Keezy. Co came knocking in 2018, Benjamin was ready for a new challenge. The startup had potential, but it needed someone with Benjamin’s vision to truly shine. He didn’t just join the team; he became its heartbeat.
Keezy. Co, at the time, was a fledgling tech news and review site struggling to stand out in a crowded market. Benjamin saw an opportunity to transform it into something more: a hub for tech enthusiasts, developers, and industry insiders.
“I was drawn to Keezy. Co because I saw its potential,” Benjamin explains. “It wasn’t just about reporting on tech; it was about building a community around it.”
