Benjamin Juang
Ben is a software engineer at VerticalResponse.com, bring social media marketing to small businesses. He graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering from UIUC in 2008. He has a fondness of new shiny things and considers himself a wannabe hacker with jack of all trades skills (from basic sysadmin skills for a LAMP stack, to whipping up a puzzle contest site in a month or so in his spare time). Other side hobbies include consuming fantasy / science fiction, napping, and trying to teach his two cats new tricks.
David Tan
David (also known as Dan) is a QA Ninja at SAVO Group. In between his daily nerf wars, he wanders the company floor and shatters the illusion of perfection for his developers. He wishes people would realize how important software testers are and awaits the day a tester receieves an award for finding a critical bug and pushing back a release date. In his spare time he is cross-training himself as a product designer and giving feedback on various project's user experience. Bounce an idea off him, he will be happy to give you feedback on the pros/cons of it from his opinion. He also writes apps for the Window Phone!!!
