Hello there! You've reached the portfolio-ish site of Ben Leduc-Mills. I like using my background in computer science, HCI, and design to uncover answers to questions people didn't know they should be asking, and then crafting a data-driven, design-polished, narrative-rich artifact to tell the story.
Yes, I use AI everyday. For code, for design, and for research. No, I didn't use it for this website.

I’m getting excited from my first trip back to NYC, in order to attend the Open Hardware Summit and to help present SADbot at Maker Faire. There’s even a picture of SADbot on the ‘Featured Maker’ page, as part of Dustyn Roberts’ Making Things Move entry. Here’s proof:
In other news, I just ordered about $500 of parts from Sparkfun and Digi-Key for the first prototype of the 3d Geoboard. One of the best things about being a funded PhD student is not paying for materials out-of-pocket. The prototype will be a 4 x 4 x 4 cube, so 64 nodes. I’m still brainstorming possibilities for the physical construction, but I have some neat ideas, so stay tuned.
Looking forward to hanging out with SADbot’s better half – see you soon!
