The Ajax Experience
Boston · October 23 - 25, 2006

Senior Consultant at Interface21, Core Developer of Spring Modules and DWR
Bram is an enterprise java architect who started working with java since 1996 and J2EE since early 2000 and has been in the lead for numerous Agile development projects over the last years. He has been using Ajax since the summer of 2004 extensively in many projects. He has been working for JTeam and Interface21 since both were founded.
Currently, Bram is core developer for Spring Modules. Spring Modules aims at facilitating the integration between the Spring framework and other projects, without extending Spring's core.

Apart from his passion for Java, Spring and Ajax he likes to travel the world with his beloved girlfriend Petra. His favorite destinations are the best scuba diving spots, which luckily happen to be the most beautiful parts of the world.
