Ben Young

Senior software engineer

Born and raised in Central Illinois, Ben left the prairie for four years to study computer science at Tulane University’s School of Engineering in New Orleans. During his studies he realized that the Illinois prairie agreed with him just a bit more than the Louisiana swamps, so he retreated back north upon graduation.

Ben joined Pixo in 2007 doing development on a Microsoft .NET WinForms application. Since that time, he has worked on numerous other projects developing custom web solutions using ASP and ASP.NET, designing and implementing databases in Microsoft SQL Server, and leading Pixo’s entry into mobile development.
