Open to graduate software engineering roles

Hi!👋 I'm Benjamin

and I'm

Software Engineering (Honours) graduate from Monash University Malaysia. I build production software end to end — from React storefronts and Node APIs to Odoo ERP modules and C#/.NET internal platforms. Most recently a Firmware Engineering Intern at Western Digital, where I shipped an internal analytics platform used by enterprise HDD firmware teams.

About Me

My introduction
Benjamin Tan at Western Digital

I'm Benjamin Tan En Zhe, a Software Engineering (Honours) graduate from Monash University Malaysia. Over three internships and a year-long development contract I've worked across the full stack — designing data pipelines and APIs, customising ERP platforms, and building interfaces people actually use day to day.

What I enjoy most is the point where engineering meets the business: understanding what a team is really trying to do, then delivering something maintainable within a real budget and a real deadline. At ERS Energy that meant replacing a proposed third-party feature with a purpose-built Odoo helpdesk system and saving roughly USD 40,000. I also lead outside of code — as Vice-President and Head Coach of the Monash Tennis Club and as an event manager for two student engineering chapters.
