Hi,
My name is Ben Fisher. I'm seeking to join a team where my work has a positive impact on people's lives, and so I'm moving my career
towards biotech. Benchlink looks like a great place for both technical quality and contributing to scientific discovery. The software
project I put together, "ViperCard", was a success, and I'm looking forward to my next challenge.
I bring both experience working as part of a big corporation, where I gained communication, team collaboration, and large
codebase/dataset skills, and experience working on my own, where I needed end-to-end knowledge (design to prototype to production to
deployment, TypeScript to Python to database schema), code architecture abilities, and planning/schedule prioritization to drive the

Created August 12, 2016 19:50
Show keyboard bindings for the SciTE code editor
# ShowBindings.py (Python 2)
# looks through SciTE source code and user properties,
# and creates an html file showing current bindings
# usage:
# download SciTE and Scintilla source
# place this script in the scite/src/scripts directory
# edit the pathPropertiesMain = line to point to your global properties file
# edit the pathPropertiesUser = line to point to your user properties file (or None)
# run the script, which creates CurrentBindings_platform.html in current directory.
