Northstar New Media by Ben Ellingson

About Ben Ellingson and Northstar New Media

I'm a multi-talented software developer focused on creating high quality mobile and web applications. Northstar New Media is my home for providing software development services.

I have been developing software since 1997. I have numerous skill sets and a drive to ship outstanding products.

Currently, I am focused on creating iOS applications. Particularly business, utility, and multi-media apps requiring attractive UI, mapping, core data, concurrency, and/or web service integration.

I create quality applications and develop rapidly by practicing short and focused development cycles along with a requirement for extensive automated unit testing.

I spend the majority of my time developing mobile and web apps for the No Fluff Just Stuff Software Symposium Series. I have some time available for part-time iPhone / iPad projects.

I live and code in Marquette, Michigan. I am available for some travel.
