Ben McCabe

I’m a fourth-year Computer Science student at NJIT, focused on front-end development and app development. My work experience includes contributing to full-stack applications and automating tasks to improve team efficiency and user experience.

I enjoy being creative and seeing visual output, which is why I love front-end development and app development. I find a lot of inspiration for my work in the music I listen to, with some of my artists being Frank Ocean, Dominic Fike, Travis Scott, and Radiohead.

I’ve recently developed an interest in woodworking, furniture design, drawing, and watercoloring, and have been spending some of my free time learning more about these hobbies. You can also catch me skateboarding, hiking the trails, and even doing yoyo tricks.
