Who Am I?

As the URL, GitHub repository, and header for this website might suggest, my name is Bennett Taylor! I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boston University, where I am deepening my expertise in embedded systems, computer architecture, and hardware-software integration.

Generally speaking, I enjoy working on challenging and interesting projects where I can learn something new. Understanding how things work and figuring out how to make them better is at the core of what drives me.

While I complete my degree, I'm seeking job or co-op opportunities in software engineering, embedded systems, or hardware design. If you have an opportunity that you think I might be a good fit for, please don't hesitate to reach out via email (betaylor83@gmail.com).

My Background

I'm originally from Groton, Massachusetts, where I graduated from Groton-Dunstable Regional High School and attained the rank of Eagle Scout (Troop 3 Groton, 2021).

I completed my undergraduate studies at Boston University, graduating Cum Laude in 2025 with a B.S. in Computer Engineering. I began my academic journey as a Biomedical Engineering major but changed my focus after an internship centered on arthroscopic equipment at Johnson & Johnson during the summer of 2022. During this internship, I had the opportunity to join the embedded software team to work on a project improving and testing the device's mechanical performance through software enhancements. This experience sparked my interest in embedded systems and computer engineering, prompting me to switch majors to learn more about how these devices and computers work "under the hood."

Since then, I've had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects through coursework, personal projects, and an internship. More information about those projects can be found below or on the projects page. Through this work, I've developed my skills in C, Linux, BASH, Verilog, and Python. Although I have experience with many other programming languages, frameworks, and tools, these are what I would consider my core strengths. I find myself most interested in the design and interaction between hardware and software, which I hope to pursue in my career.

In My Free Time

Outside of my technical work, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, running, rock climbing, painting, drawing, and photography. You can view the highlights of my artistic work on the Art page of this website! I developed a love for the outdoors while in the Boy Scouts, where I first started backpacking and completed many conservation projects. The wilderness has a calming, motivating effect on me, and I always feel refreshed after spending time outside. I've always been active, having played soccer and baseball as a kid and run on cross country and track teams in high school and college (although I was never particularly fast).
