Ben Edwards’s Experience

Designer & Agile Consultant

Refactr

(Privately Held; 1-10 employees; Computer Software industry)

September 2006 — Present (1 year 11 months)

I am a co-founder and chief designer of Refactr LLC, a rapid software development team looking to change the way software developers and software development projects are perceived. We are pragmatic in our technology choices, but currently prefer using the light-weight Java framework Grails to aid us in developing powerful applications quickly.
