HI, MY NAME IS BEN THEURICH.

ABOUT ME

I’m a software engineer currently studying at Cal State San Marcos. I love coding, and building creative things with software.

In the summer of 2022, I had the opportunity to intern at HME, where I am currently working part-time as a software testing contractor on the automation team. I was asked to stay on and continue my work part-time as I finished my last year of school.

As I look towards graduation in May 2023, I am exited for the future, and eager to test my skills as a developer wherever my career takes me.

EDUCATION

In 2021, I graduated from Mt San Jacinto Community College (MSJC), with an Associate’s Degree in Liberal Arts: Math & Science.

I expect to graduate California State University San Marcos (CSUSM) in May 2023 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Science: Software Engineering (3.9 GPA).

HACKATHON

Co-led team of three CSUSM students to win LPL Financial’s 2023 Hackathon by creating a financial tool powered by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML).

This innovative tool utilized natural language processing (NLP) to assign sentiment ratings to top stocks in a selected market sector. Built using Python, HTML, and CSS and deployed using an AWS Linux Virtual Machine with the Flask web framework. Our work on this project was recognized by senior executives at LPL Financial for its innovation and completeness.
