Blogposts, youtube videos and side projects are how I quench the thirst for knowledge I have in this domain. It helps me become better at my job but it's also just a way for me to explore different ideas and in my own little way make the world a better place
Hi, I'm Benjamin
About Me
I have a lot of interests and I'm in a lucky position that my proffesion just so happen to be one of them as well. I'm a "software engineer" which is a fancy way of saying I'm a web developer. On top of loving the proffession itself I'm also blessed to be at a job I love. Currently working as a software engineer at Testaviva, currently focusing on the internal tools the my legal advisor colleagues work. Trying to make their day better through a platform we have called "Backoffice" or "BO" for short. Fun fact that is also the name of my dad and you can guess whether that influenced my decision to suggest that name.
Hobbies
While being a web dev does take up a lot of my time, I'm a multifaceted person and here are some of my other hobbies.
What? More development? Yes it's something I dabble in from time to time as well. I'm very much still at an entry level learning phase in this domain. I've always wanted to make games, ever since I was a little kid. For a long time I didn't actually think I'd be able to do it, but ever since I discovered my love for programming, the reality of making a game seems more and more doable.
I even went as far as to study game development abroad in Canada for a semester during my studies.
I'm learning with a game engine called Godot and primarily focused on courses and small game mechanics rather than a fully blown game
Surprise surprise I love playing video games alway have always will. Currently the games I play the most TFT and LoL
Rather than listing all games I play or have played here are some recents: Hell Divers 2, Golf with friends, Valheim
Wait board games can be a hobby? Yes.
I love them. My favorite is Catan and currently the most expensive in my collection is Hero Quest
I have a guitar and a piano keyboard as well as a dj set, I'm very much a beginner in all avenues of music, but I do see myself being able to fully play songs at some day in the future. I'm gamifying my learning experience through an app called YouSician which basically turns learning music into Guitar hero
