BENJAMIN TOWNSEND

I am a technologist with over 25 years of experience in the IT industry. My work spans desktop support, network and server administration, software development, cyber security, telecommunications, and team leadership.

For more than a decade, I have worked in nonprofit healthcare IT, helping secure and maintain systems, modernize infrastructure, and support reliable remote operations. In parallel, I have run my own consulting agency, Dispatch Dataworks LLC, focused on web applications, data-driven systems, and custom business software.

Outside of work I spend time with amateur radio, electronics experiments, home automation, photography, hiking, and camping. Birdwatching is a major project and passion, combining live camera feeds with AI species identification using BirdNET-Pi.

I hold an FCC Amateur Radio Extra Class license, serve with the Fulton Amateur Radio Club, volunteer as a licensing examiner and instructor, and support community events with emergency communications and weather spotting.
