Celebrating a Star of the Developer Community

Today, we'd like to spotlight one of the standout members of the InterSystems Developer Community: @Benjamin De Boe. Since the inception of the InterSystems Developer Community, he has shared his expertise, contributing thoughtful articles, practical demos, and answers to questions. Having worked with InterSystems products since 2010, Benjamin brought invaluable knowledge to the Developer Community. From navigating iKnow projects to simplifying complex deployments with Docker and Python, he has continually inspired fellow developers through his work and presence on the Community.

🤩 Let's take a closer look at Benjamin's journey with InterSystems technology and our Developer Community...

A particularly memorable moment in Benjamin's career was his role in advancing Predictive Modeling Markup Language (PMML). Through this project, he learned invaluable skills like code generation and collaboration with senior colleagues, proving he's not afraid to push boundaries and explore new ideas. His commitment to solving challenges—whether technical or through collaboration—stands out as a hallmark of his approach.

Over the years, he has been involved in some of the platform's most exciting moments, including judging the programming contest entries, speaking at the webinars, meetups, and Summits, and always being there to help and support the admins of the Community. His highlight is the participation in the Global Masters program: I’m still looking forward to a fresh range of socks to choose from and spend my remaining balance! 😊 To new members, he offers one key piece of advice: Never hesitate to ask questions, even in older threads—there’s always room for deeper discussion and learning. Thus, he encourages newcomers to ask questions, reminding us all that learning never stops, even in the most "solved" discussions.

As we look forward to the future of the Community, Benjamin is particularly excited about upcoming generative AI-powered features, seeing endless potential for innovation and collaboration. His enthusiasm for what lies ahead only further demonstrates his support of making the Developer Community a vibrant and positive environment.

Outside of work, Benjamin finds balance by indulging in passions like running, traveling, and cooking. Despite a busy schedule, he manages to bring the same level of energy and dedication to everything he does.

👏 Thank you, @Benjamin De Boe, for your unwavering commitment to the InterSystems Developer Community. Your contributions and passion continue to shape the future of this space, and we are incredibly grateful for everything you do!
