Benn is a Risk-taker, Problem-solver, and Perpetual Learner
Bio
I'm Benn, a tech enthusiast with a passion for creating and innovating. Technology has fascinated me since I was a kid, from building my first app to experimenting with robotics. I love the hands-on aspect of solving problems, especially when it means creating something that can make a real impact. Beyond tech, I’m deeply interested in mental health and have dedicated myself to raising awareness about it within my community, founding a project to support young people dealing with mental health issues.
​
Collaboration is key for me—I’m inspired by learning from diverse perspectives and sharing my own cultural background. I’m also a photographer, always on the lookout for unique shots that capture the beauty of everyday life. To me, life is about pushing boundaries, whether it’s in tech, mental health, or creative projects. I’m driven by the idea of making meaningful, lasting contributions wherever I go.
