Ben Treder

About Me
I’m Ben — Sacramento web designer, cybersecurity specialist, and computer repair nerd. I build fast, secure sites and make tricky tech feel easy.
I started by fixing family laptops, then got obsessed with ethical hacking, performance tuning, and turning messy tech into something fast and reliable. These days I help Sacramento locals and small businesses with secure websites, clean networks, and no-BS troubleshooting. If it plugs in or connects to Wi-Fi, I’ve probably torn it down and made it better.
