About Me

My name is Binyamin Aron Green, and this is my website.

I am a Jewish ✡ web developer and student from Baltimore, Maryland 🗺️. I enjoy reading 📚, listening to music 🎼, and tinkering with this website ⚒.

You may be wondering what I'm up to now ⏲️ in life.

Jewish

I'm an orthodox Jew. Here are some of the implications.

I place special importance upon the study of the Torah, or the collective of Judaism's traditions, laws, and practices.
I strive to act like a mensch.
I observe the Shabbos (the Jewish day of rest) on Saturday.
I keep kosher (article, video), so I adhere to certain dietary restrictions.

Reading

I like reading sci-fi and fantasy novels, as well as philosophical works. You can look at my reading list.

Music

I began learning piano at age 6. When I sit down at the piano, I play whatever song is in my head. That's usually Jewish pop or a part of a movie soundtrack.

My Keyboard is a YPG-235, but Yamaha has discontinued that model in favor of the PSR-EW300. I also own a Blue Yeti Nano microphone for recording.

Writing

I've started a journal, or micro blog. Sometimes, I write full articles and post them on my blog. I used to maintain a personal wiki of sorts. There are JSON and RSS feeds for most of my writing.

Code

I've been coding (I think) since late 2017. If it means anything, I joined GitHub on May 31, 2018. I primarily work with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I know some Python, and I studied Java in college.

This Site

This website represents me, and helps me track my growth over time. I believe that personal websites are very beneficial for web developers, especially for beginners. I wrote about how I built this site, and I keep a roadmap for it. I store the source code both on GitHub and on GitLab.
