Benjamin Grierson

Student, builder, experimenter.

Things I've built, shipped, or am actively working on. A mix of code, sport, and experiments.

Active

Habit Tracker App

Code · In progress

A personal fitness and habit tracker inspired by Apple Fitness aesthetics. Built to scratch my own itch — I wanted something clean that tracks what I actually care about.

Learning German

Language · Ongoing

Daily immersion with Migaku and conversation practice with Pingo AI. My third language after English and Mandarin. The goal is conversational fluency.

This Website

Code · Live

A minimal personal site. Pure HTML and CSS — no frameworks, no build step, no dependencies. Hosted on GitHub Pages at grierson.io.

Completed

France to Spain by Bike

Sport · 2025

Cycled from the south of France to Spain. One of my best projects — equal parts endurance, logistics, and mental challenge. Proved to myself that big things start with just deciding to go.

Schneider Electric Internship (China)

Work · 2025

Four months in China. Worked at Schneider Electric while learning Mandarin from scratch. A crash course in adapting to unfamiliar environments.

Experiments

Smaller things I tried. Not all of these worked — that's the point.

Calisthenics Social Media

Content · Paused

Built a small following around bodyweight training content. Learned the basics of audience building and content creation.

Web Design for Small Businesses

Freelance · Paused

Pitched and built websites for local businesses. Good practice in sales, client work, and shipping under constraints.
