Get Personal with Ben, Web Programmer Extraordinaire
Ben McDowell fell in love with computers at a young age, and was thrilled to discover he could make a career out of something he is so passionate about. Working from Stevens Point, Wis., Ben McDowell is a web programmer, specializing in PHP and JavaScript. As a developer for Blue Door Consulting, he loves being able to spend actual face time with clients, instead of just coding away the day behind closed doors.
‘[The team collaboration] is really a day and night difference from just about anything you’ve ever done,’ says Ben. ‘Ten minutes into my job here, we were pulling chairs around and gathering around a table. Even though I had worked here for a very short time, I felt immediately like I was contributing to the team.’
When you meet Ben in person, be sure to ask him about his punk rock band’s basement shows. You won’t want to miss them.
