About Me

Greetings! I am Ben Klein, a driven and passionate Computer Science student specializing in technology and innovation. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Jerusalem College of Technology (Machon Lev), with an expected graduation date of August 2024. My academic journey has been enriched by a diverse array of coursework, including Neural Networks and Deep Learning, Logic & Functional Programming, and Software Engineering, among others. My technical proficiency encompasses various programming languages such as Java, C#, Python, and more. I have honed my skills through practical experiences, including serving as the Director of Technology and Logistics at Vayichan, where I oversaw the creation of a custom website and managed content delivery for a global audience. Entrepreneurially, I founded Ben Klein Technologies LLC, where I have been instrumental in crafting mobile applications for iOS and Android platforms (with over 16,000 downloads), as well as developing bespoke websites and portals utilizing HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP. Furthermore, my tenure as an intern at Rosco Vision Systems, a company that partners with Mobileye in engineering and manufacturing visual safety systems for commercial fleet vehicles, allowed me to contribute to product testing and improvement in the electrical engineering domain. Notably, I have successfully spearheaded projects that showcase my expertise, such as the Project Management System, where I leveraged C# and .NET technologies, and the 3D Image Ray Tracer, in which I developed a sophisticated rendering system using Java. Beyond my academic and professional pursuits, I am deeply passionate about leveraging technology to solve real-world challenges and push the boundaries of innovation. Whether it's crafting elegant code or architecting robust solutions, I am committed to making a meaningful impact in the ever-evolving landscape of technology. With a diverse skill set spanning programming languages like Java, Python, Swift, and more, I continually seek new challenges and opportunities for growth, approaching every task with enthusiasm, dedication, and a drive for excellence.

Skills

App Development
I am proficient in iOS(Swift) and Android(Java) app development. I have made many apps that have not been published, but my most impressive app is DRS Live, which is on the app store. For that app, and all the others, I do everything starting with the first prototypes of the app with a basic design, to the backend server which stores all the data and metrics for the app.

Broadcasting
I'm an expert in broadcasting, especially live streaming of sports games. I know how to set up streaming software with multiple camera angles, audio sources, scoreboards, and other overlays. I have a lot of experience from DRS Live, where we use all of these techniques plus instant replays, and other cool elements to make the broadcast really amazing. This can be used for any event that you want to be live streamed and/or available afterwards to (re)watch, not just sports.

Video Production
I shoot video, and do post-production video editing. For example, I make highlight videos after games are streamed on DRS Live. They include the best plays from each quarter or period, and advanced animations, which add a lot of energy to the videos.

Photography / Videography
I do photography and videography for events and photo shoots. I take these pictures and raw footage, and convert them into edited slideshows or films. 

Web Design
Using HTML, CSS, or programs like WordPress, I can create amazing websites like this one. Every website should be unique, and should make people feel good about what they're looking at. That's what I create.

Just some things I’ve done

DRS Live app

This app allows you to watch live games, previous games, and highlight videos. The app also gives you the ability to view schedules and stats, and receive notifications for each of the teams. Notifications include reminders about upcoming games, updates during games, and results from completed games.

Highlight Videos

I made highlight videos after games streamed on DRS Live, using Adobe Premiere Pro. They include the best plays from each quarter or period, separated by advanced animation created in Adobe After Effects, and end off with another animation promoting our next game.

DRS Live Broadcasting

I ran the DRS Live broadcasting network, which streams virtually every home basketball and hockey game to YouTube, our website, and the app. I organized staff, got equipment, set up audio equipment for announcers, and cameras in a few different angles. I then controlled the score, camera angle, and time in Wirecast during the game. When goals are scored in hockey, or at the end of quarters in basketball, I sent out notifications with updates to all people subscribed to that team in the DRS Live app.

Text Arrange app

With this app, you can create, scramble, and re-order words or sets of words. Once you create a set of terms that you would like to mix up, click continue and you can play the game right on your device. Once you play the game, a unique game identifier will be generated, which you, or anyone else, can enter in on their device to access and re-order that same set of terms! You can use this for anything that involves order, steps, or patterns! The possibilities are endless!

Prayer prep allows you to use different techniques to better connect to prayer. The app has a complete Siddur, and each Tefillah can be tapped to view detailed explanations and commentaries. There is a notes section which allows you to write down information which is relevant to your Tefillah. In adddition, there are links to a music playlist and a meditation app which can be used to get in the right state of mind for prayer.
