Who am I?My name is Ben Aronow. I grew up in Minneapolis, but currently live in Boston for school. I love software development, and am excited to officially begin my career as an engineer. Most of my current experience lies in web development, but I look forward to broadening my knowledge with every coming year.
EducationI am a senior at Northeastern University getting my BS in Computer Science, with a concentration in software. During my time here I have had the opportunity to participate in the cooperative education program, and I am on my second co-op now. I also work for University Recreation as a personal trainer.
Current RoleI am currently working as a Software Engineer Co-op at eMoney Advisor, where I am helping to create an online portal for clients to utilize.
MyWork
My Work
LiftLedgerI used to track my workouts with Google Sheets. Needless to say,
this didn't quite cut it for me. Inspired by my need for something more,
I decided to make a workout tracker myself. Built with NextJS, LiftLedger
is primarily designed as a PWA, but also works on desktop.
ByteBuddiesByteBuddies was the culmination of a group project for my Software Development class. We worked in an agile-style team to create a web application using a traditional MERN stack, along with Socket.IO. I focused on UI, state management with Redux, and live head-to-head games.
Twitter & StocksIn a data science class that I took, my group and I used pandas,
the Twitter and Polygon APIs, and with machine learning models such
as Linear Regression and Random Forest to determine if CEO's Twitter
activity impacted their businesses. The verdict? Maybe.
