Hello there. Welcome to my webpage. Please, have a look around and enjoy reading all kinds of interesting things about me, like what I did this past summer or the numerous social networks you can contact me on.

These are a few things I have created. They range from small (my first assignment in Data Structures and Algorithms) to… somewhat larger.
During my internship at Facebook, I created a Mailbox API for third-party developers. I also created a demo to show off what developers can do with the Mailbox API.
I have an account on GitHub, but I haven't posted anything there yet. But when I do, I am sure it will be exciting. Maybe. When I do post something, you can find it here.
I've also played around with the iPhone SDK, I made two apps (but never released them), Boggle and Conway's Game of Life.
Finally, way back in first semester of my freshman year, our first assignment in Data Structures and Algorithms was to create a program to do basic image manipulation. I had these images on my old site, and I hate to remove content, so here they are.

I am an undergrad at UTexas majoring in CS and Math. I am a member of the Turing Scholars honors program and the Dean's Scholars honors program.
This past summer I did an internship at Facebook. It was a great experience and I might be going back next summer, but I still have to decide.
Also, if you would like to see my résumé, you can find it right here.

Since I love signing up for things, there are many ways you can reach me.
You can message me on Facebook, you can tweet to @benhiller. I'm even on LinkedIn, though I am not quite sure why.
You can also email me, but only if you already know my email.

A friend and I created a single-player implementation of Boggle for the iPhone. We never released it, but it had a nice touch-based interface and it even told you which words you missed at the end of the game. Here are a few screenshots of it:

My first experiment with the iPhone SDK consisted of a simple implementation of Conway's Game of Life. It wasn't too fancy, but it did save state between when you closed it and re-opened it. Since I am sure you are curious, here are a few screenshots of it:

Our first assignment in Data Structures and Algorithms was to create a program that could apply different filters to images. Here are a few images that I created to test my program.

While at Facebook, I made a demo application to show what developers can do with the Mailbox API that I also created at Facebook. It had a lot of cool features, like support for viewing attachments, checking for new messages in the background, a typeahead for names when sending messages and all kinds of other stuff. You can check it out here. It is called Teraboxx, but you probably wouldn't get that name if you don't work at Facebook.
