That's me, Ben.
Hey, I am Ben Ripkens (bripkens)
and this is my blog.
I live in
Düsseldorf
(Germany)
and I am employed by the
codecentric AG as a Software Engineer.
Web application frontends are my main area of expertise, but you may also
find some other interesting articles on this blog.
I stopped publishing articles on my personal blog and instead published them on the blog of my employer. You can thus find all new articles on the codecentric AG engineering blog.
