Ben Overmyer

Full-Stack Developer and Game Designer

Hi, I'm Ben. I love making web experiences awesome for people and machines.

By day, I apply my skills as a developer to build web applications, monitor them, set up web infrastructure, and automate things.

In my free time I work on procedural content generation tools for tabletop role-playing games. You can see my latest works in this area at Iron Arachne.

Also, I am the co-owner of tabletop role-playing game company Silver Gryphon Games.

You can find me on the Fediverse at @[email protected].
