Hello world,

I am Benjamin Mezger (or Ben), a software engineer based in Amsterdam with a Master’s degree in Computer Science. I design software systems that meet business requirements and are robust and maintainable in the long term.

I’ve lived in different countries with different material conditions and cultures, which has broadened my perspective and helped me adapt quickly to different environments.

My technical interests span across resilient system design, microservice architecture, distributed systems, observability, system tooling, programming languages and UNIX.

Occasionally, I write technical and non-technical notes at /notes. There, I share some of my thoughts about the real world as I see. The content of this blog is fully written in Emacs Org Mode, and I export them to Hugo.
