Hi, I'm Benji Asperheim—full-stack developer, writer, and perpetual learner. I'm currently based in northern Minnesota, where I was born and raised. I have over a decade of experience in software engineering, with a strong foundation in backend and frontend web technologies, cloud infrastructure, and DevOps. I started my journey scripting in Python and experimenting with PyGame for 2D game development. That curiosity quickly expanded into full-stack development with tools like React, Angular, Node.js, and Docker. I've worked with SQL and NoSQL databases, cloud services like DigitalOcean, and tackled a variety of media tasks using tools like FFmpeg. I'm not just a programmer. I have a BA in German and English from the University of Wisconsin-Superior, where I studied historical linguistics, phonology, and comparative grammar. My passion for language, etymology, and cultural systems runs parallel to my interest in code—and they often intersect in surprising ways. Learn Programming is more than a coding resource. It's a space where I reflect on everything from software architecture and cloud design to linguistics, etymology, writing systems, and philosophical questions about AI and cognition. My blog isn't just for developers—it's for anyone curious about how systems (human or machine) are structured, evolve, and interrelate. Thanks for visiting—whether you're here to brush up on RxJS operators or dive into Proto-Germanic root suffixes, I hope you find something thought-provoking.
