Benjamin van der Veen

I have lived in Portland since the summer of 2007. Originally from southern California, I am proud to call the beautiful country of Cascadia my home.

I am a partner at Survant James. We provide business consulting and a breadth of software design and engineering services. I am responsible for technical and creative direction, and handle a long tail of operational details.

I play drums in a metal band, ride my bicycle as my primary mode of transportation, and fly sailplanes and RC models. I am interested in finance, aerospace, estimation theory, and control theory.

At the slightest provocation, I will yammer on about the so-called “reactive” programming paradigm, MVVM software architecture, automated software testing and deployment, and Datomic; I am a recovering programmer.
