Welcome to my corner of the internet. I'm Ben Hanna — Christian, husband, and father — currently working as a Senior Software Engineer at Salad Technologies.

Professionally I build reliable systems, but my real passion lives in retro computing and homebrew game development. I collect vintage hardware, dive into classic systems, and tinker from high-level prototypes down to hand-written assembly for platforms like the Game Boy.

This blog is where I share my journey — experiments, lessons learned from low-level programming, reverse-engineering old tech, and the joy of squeezing performance out of limited hardware. Whether it's breathing new life into forgotten machines or building something from scratch, I'm always learning the ways of the old and documenting what I find.

Thanks for stopping by. If you're into retro gaming, homebrew, or low-level dev, I hope you find something useful or inspiring here. Feel free to reach out!
