Me šŸ‘Øā€šŸ’»

Hi, Iā€™m Benjamin, 32 years old and based in Tyrol, Austria. Currently, Iā€™m working at onlim as a software engineer with a focus on backend and DevOps. After graduating from HTL Innsbruck where I came into 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 Iā€™m still employed to date.

During my whole time working as a developer, I was curious to learn new things while also trying to get a detailed understanding of the technologies I use. Nowadays, Iā€™m learning and using more JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js on the backend. In my spare time, Iā€™m currently refreshing my electronics engineering & networking basics by reading various books.

In addition to reading and (re-)learning the theory, Iā€™m also trying to realize practical home lab projects:

Also, Iā€™m 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 knowledge about already-used technologies, I have a big passion for sports and fitness. I love long, full day hiking trips as well as trying to stay in shape by doing regular strength exercises.
