Hi there!

Hi! I’m Benji.

I’m the founder of Monjibram, a polyglot web development company known for making complex things on the internet. But you might know me better as the creator of Dot Foundry, the diverse range of design talent I call upon to make sure those things are branded and beautiful.

Let’s scope your project.

I’m a WordCamp US speaker. I write about computers, talk about computers, and sometimes I even sleep!

Thanks to Benji, Cover to Credits has a website that looks and functions beautifully where listeners can discover us. He even created a custom portal to play episodes that is automatically updated when we post!
Working alongside Benji is what every creative wishes the designer/developer relationship would be. Detail-oriented, thorough, and knowledgeable are just a few of the words that come to mind when describing his work ethic.
Full stack developers in a time of frontend and backend specialization are rare, and Ben is one of them. He knows what makes for a great web-based experience for customers - front-end technologies, visual layout, and effective web design.
