Open to software & ML engineering roles

Hi, I'm Ben Myers Software Engineer

I build full-stack web applications and research federated machine learning for securing critical infrastructure.

  • Full-stack: Next.js, TypeScript, FastAPI, PostgreSQL
  • ML research: federated learning, anomaly detection
  • Founder who has shipped and operated a real product

Selected work

Things I've built & researched

Research2025 – Present

Federated FDIA Detection & Localization

Federated learning models that detect and localize false-data-injection attacks on power-grid state estimation.

Graduate research in CSUN's Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) Lab, training models across distributed nodes to flag — and pinpoint — false-data-injection (FDIA) attacks against smart-grid state estimation, without centralizing sensitive measurement data. Explores graph-based and attention-based architectures for spotting anomalous sensor readings across a network.

Brig Light Art

Full-stack, Stripe-integrated e-commerce storefront for fine-art photography.

A storefront built with FastAPI, Python, and PostgreSQL that syncs product prices, images, and titles directly from database records via the Stripe API. Includes image-resolution downscaling on display to protect original artwork from unauthorized downloads. Operated under Art Ecommerce, LLC.
