Hello, my name is Benjamin Thomas

I am a web developer from Denver, Colorado. I like Maps, designing interfaces, Javascript, Node, CSS, SVG, Vim, and challenges.

In my freetime I like to be active outside, running, hiking, backpacking, slacklining, skiiing, etc; inside I like to play games, watch TV or movies and read.

Thanks for dropping by my neck of the interwebs. If you would like to reach me, my email address is benjamin@benjaminthomas.org. I can also be found sometimes on GitHub.
