Hey there! I'm Ben Soyka, an undergraduate computer science student always on plenty of side quests.

Programming

I've been writing code since I was 6 years old! In addition to software engineering contracting, you can find what I've been up to lately in the open-source world on GitHub.

Community Involvement

I like to help out in the world, both in person and online!

This year, I'm the president of the Twin Cities Rotaract Club, a community service organization affiliated with Rotary International. (I'm also involved in several other organizations at UMN!)

Online, I'm a trained volunteer counselor for the Crisis Text Line. Text 741-741 or use one of the many other resources out there if you need mental health support.

Photography

I run a small photography business—you can see more at soyka.photos.

Academics

At the University of Minnesota, I'm pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science and plan to graduate in the fall of 2027.

Writing

You can find some of my work published on Medium. There's not much rhyme or reason to what I share there—just whatever comes to mind.
