Hi š Iām Benjamin, 30 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, but also keeping an eye on Rust.
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.
