My name is Ben. My proper name is James Benton Lackey III. This has caused some confusion.

I currently live in Dallas, where I cover capital markets for TIBCO, helping clients improve their trading platforms, formalize and automate mid and back office processes and generally improve their software architecture. The firms I work with increase revenue, reduce overhead and get to market faster.

I used to contribute to the now largely defunct group blog nonplatonic.com.
