Software Engineer and Father. Love to learn, love to teach, love to build. CTO at recorrido.cl -> Ruby, Elixir, Vue / Stimulus
My name is Benjamín Silva, I studied Computer Science. I try to keep up to date on technologies and best practices and this blog is a personal project that hopefully helps me on that. I believe making myself write tech stuff is a good way to share my knowledge at the same time keep me learning new things.
What I'm using on my daily work: Elixir (and Phoenix), Ruby on Rails, Rspec, PostgreSQL, Vue.js, Elasticsearch, AWS, Docker
What else I know or I used before: Android Native, React, Python Django
