Me 👨‍💻

Hi, I’m Benjamin, 33 years old and based in Tyrol, Austria. After graduating from HTL Innsbruck where I came in contact with the hardware and software sides of the world, I decided to fully focus on software.

The first 2 years I spent working for holzweg, where I worked with PHP (Symfony, eZ Publish). Followed by a position at STI Innsbruck as a full-time Ruby (Rails) developer. I moved on to work for onlim (a spin-off from STI) where I spent most of my professional career so far.
