About
I’m Ben Scofield, a developer, speaker, and author living in Durham, NC, where I’m the Technology Director for Viget Labs‘ Durham office. I’ve been with Viget for nearly five years, during which time I’ve worked with a number of startups in a variety of roles – from project management to usability analysis, but with a focus on system architecture and development.
Some facts about me:
- I have a wife and a daughter, both of whom are a ton of fun.
- I work, and I tweet, and I travel, and I read, and I love comics.
- I’ve contributed to Rails and to some other open source projects, and I have several of my own that a few people here and there have used.
- I wrote a book called Practical REST on Rails 2 Projects.
- I spend a lot of time speaking at events, and I’m one of the primary organizers behind the Developer Day series.
