Hi š Iām Benjamin, 29 years old and based in Tyrol, Austria. Currently Iām working at onlim as software engineer with a focus on backend and DevOps. After graduating from HTL Innsbruck where I came in contact with hardware and software side of the world I decided to fully focus on software.
The first 2 years I spent working for a web agency where I worked with PHP (Symfony, eZ Publish). Followed by a position at STI Innsbruck as a full-time Ruby (Rails) developer. Branched off from STI I moved on working for onlim where Iām still employed to date.
During the whole time working as developer I was curious to learn new things, but also trying to get a detailed understanding of the technologies I use. Altough Iām a big Ruby enthusiast šā¤ļø, Iām learning more JavaScript and TypeScript combined with Node.js and NestJS to leverage it on the backend. In my spare time Iām currently experimenting with Hanami and Crystal.
Also Iām a big believer in OSS and try to give back to it by either contributing or sponsoring:
Besides loving to learn about new technologies or gaining more in depth knowledege about already used technologies I have a big passion for sports and fitness. I love long full day hiking trips, do 2-3 runs per week and love getting more in shape after years of living a unhealthy lifestyle.
If you are interested in my sport activities consider to follow me on Strava or Instagram.
