About Me

Hi! I'm Yong Bin Gao, or Ben Gao, a software developer. I like software engineering because of its potential to change people's daily lives. Also, it's fun to work on challenging problems and squash bugs along the way.

Besides writing code, I'm into hiking, biking and rock climbing. Taking a break from NYC's busy streets and diving into nature is relaxing and helps me recharge. When I'm not wandering through the woods, I'm probably wondering about how to shift my weight around to get to the tall of a climbing wall.
