Benjamín GuzmánEmbedded Software Engineer and lifelong learner
I like computer science, but I'm also keen on psychology.
I have 6+ yoe on various projects, but embedded development is what I like the most.
I'm more of a tool-agnostic problem solver than a framework implementer or coder.
Some of my personal projects.
For professional experience see Experience section below
bsort
Non-comparison-based sorting algorithm for integers and floating-point values with O(wn) run-time asymptotic behavior and O(w) auxiliary space
lox
Interpreter and compiler for the Lox programming language written in C++ and LLVM
docker compose viz
arXiv
bsort is a non-comparison-based, linear-time, in-place (with respect to n) sorting algorithm capable of sorting signed/unsigned integers and floating-point values.
Professional Experience
My career journey.

Main technologies
Technologies in which I have more experience:
I currently use Gentoo as my main OS.
I've worked with CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu servers, and even Yocto for embedded systems
I have experience developing OS-level libraries, interpreters and compilers.
I'm familiar with C++20 and modern tooling
I use C to learn the deepest details of computing and how computers really work internally.
I'm familiar with glibc and low-level system troubleshooting
I've experience with it and even contributed to it
Familiar with Kubernetes and containerization of services
I like to develop cli tools and microservices with Go
I use it mainly for scripts I need to write fast, but also for ML and data science stuff
I've used it for big projects.
One time I managed to partition TiB-scale tables in production with 0 downtime
It is one of the main languages I used for backend development.
I usually use it along with NestJS
It is the first language I learnt in depth.
I try to keep up with the new features
Other technologies
It's my preferred tool for building web pages.
I've mainly used it to store denormalized data and ML datasets.
I learnt frontend and backend development using vanilla JS.
Nowadays I mainly use Typescript
I learnt frontend development using plain CSS.
Nowadays I mainly use TailwindCSS
I've used it as load balancer, reverse proxy and static content provider
I've mainly used it as cache to provide quick responses
I learnt database fundamentals with it
I like functional programming and it's fun to rack my brains trying to solve coding challenges in Haskell
Basic software for any software engineer
Soft skills
Some of the soft skills I've acquired through life.
Amazon's LPs and Audible's PPs do match with my personality as profesional.
Most of the things I know I learned by myself or by reading books, taking courses, asking for help, etc...
I am a proactive person who seeks to solve things, and I like to motivate others to do the same
I won't stand idly by. If there is a problem to fix or something that can be improved, I will do my best to so
I know how to both actively listen and express myself appropriately
I also like to speak in public
I like to do things right
I like to build robust, useful and durable solutions while meeting deadlines and taking care of myself
I'm really curious and like to learn the deepest details of computing
When learning I like to reinvent the wheel
Life and community have shown me how important it is to be humble
I'm used to work both in a team and individually
I worry about my friends. Good relationships are always more important than anything
