My name is Ben Tilly. I've been working as a programmer since the last millennium. I've participated in a number of programming communities over the years. Usually under the names Ben Tilly, tilly, btilly, or rarely benjtilly..

My main programming language is Perl, but I have learned a number of others to varying degrees of competence. These days I do a lot with A/B testing, reporting, and fun math stuff. That hasn't been planned, but I'm just shy of a PhD in math so it has proven to be a fit for me.

You can email me at btilly@gmail.com.
