about
I'm Benjamin Garcia, a second-year Computer Science major at Mt. San Antonio College, preparing to transfer to a four-year institution this fall. Currently a Full Stack Software Developer Intern at Todd, I build fast, scalable websites that bridge design and functionality.
Outside of coding, you can find me at the gym, hanging out with my dog, or exploring the Lands Between.
