Benjamin Meyer

Software Engineer

I build across the full stack and love solving problems I haven't seen before.

Starting at Microsoft — July 2026

I'm a Software Engineer at Microsoft and a graduating Computer Science student at Northeastern University. I enjoy full-stack engineering work that turns complex problems into products people can use every day.

Most recently, I interned on Microsoft's Copilot for Sales team, where I shipped an AI-powered meeting insights feature in Outlook. The feature helped sales teams reduce pre-meeting research time and prepare faster.

Outside of work, you can usually find me watching movies, playing tennis, skiing, or planning my next trip. Always looking for a good recommendation.

visuaLAG (HackMIT 2023) ↗

Built a command-line tool at HackMIT 2023 that visualizes and gamifies LeetCode execution. Designed a staged learning flow so users can build algorithm intuition through interactive, visual feedback instead of only pass/fail test results. Built it to be language-agnostic so it can visualize execution independent of implementation language.
