Benjamin Scherrey

Founder & Chief Systems Architect

Benjamin Scherrey started his first business in 1989 quite by accident. Known for being able to deliver complex computing systems into operation under tight deadlines with high reliability; I discovered that most of me efforts were focused on building the development model, team and infrastructure rather than actual programming. Since then I have built software development groups for other companies around the world until finally starting my own, Proteus Technologies. My focus is on identifying strong talent and carrying fresh concepts to implementation.

As an architect, I introduced Agile processes and methodologies to companies around the world. I've architected and built real-time, event-based, and web-based systems that have scaled to hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users and processes billions of dollars of transactions. As a consultant, I focus on helping bridge the communication gap between business requirements from management’s perspective and the impact of technological decisions by development staff using general systems methods.

My technical qualifications span numerous hardware architectures, operating systems, and programming languages, as well as design and development methodologies. I have been featured in many periodicals including the Wall Street Journal, VAR Business, Byte, Communication Week, Computer World, industry reports by IDC and several Internet-based conferences. I have served in both management consultant and technical capacities to companies including Thomson Reuters, Scientific Games International, IBM, CSX, GE Capital, Borland International, CibaVision, Ericsson, Harris DTS, and H.B.O. & Company.
