Benjamin Orr

I am a software engineer from the United States looking for work in Montevideo, Uruguay.

As a member of the telecommunications team at UPMC Health Plan, I've tackled a wide variety of software problems, from integrating Cloud Based Applications into the Genesys Framework, building Secure File Transfer Protocols between our on-premises servers, to supporting our end users in our Contact Centers.

I attended Penn State, earning my Bachelor's degree in Archaeological Science, which instilled in me meticulous research, critical analysis, and interdisciplinary thinking. Transitioning to tech via Academy PGH honed my problem-solving, adaptability, and collaboration skills in a fast-paced environment. This unique blend bridges historical inquiry with cutting-edge technology, enriching my approach to innovation and problem-solving.

While at Penn State, I served in the PA Army National Guard as an infantryman, fostering discipline and leadership. This experience instilled in me a strong work ethic, resilience, and adaptability, qualities that have served me well in my professional journey.
