“Ben and I worked together for several years in the cloud IT start-up, Peake Healthcare Solutions. We hired Ben to lead our engineering organization, leveraging his extensive experience in the field and agile development skills. Ben was an instant hit. He dove right in and became a well-liked and respected leader. He was also a clear and calm voice to the management team, particularly as business conditions became more challenging. His experience in the applicable technologies helped us strike the right balance and ultimately achieve the first releases of our commercial solution. Ben is strategic, highly reasoned, and a strong leader of people. If the opportunity arose, I would hire Ben in a heartbeat.”

Catalyst was UC Irvine Merage School of Business's instructional intranet site for a decade.
Catalyst is an online syllabi publishing, archiving, and distribution system. The system’s development began in August of 1997. The first version was available for use four months later for the winter 1998 quarter. Version 1.0 was java servlet-based.

Catalyst is an online syllabi publishing, archiving, and distribution system. The system’s development began in August of 1997. The first version was available for use four months later for the winter 1998 quarter. Version 1.0 was java servlet-based.
In summer of 1999 a completely re-factored version (2.0) was introduced, written in PERL using the Velocigen CGI accelerator (a mod_perl like system for Windows). This new version incorporated the online syllabi and directory aspects of version 1.0, but added a better interface, plus additional modules via a more extensible plug-in architecture. Over time, modules were completed for grade distribution, online quizzes, real-time polling, assignment uploading, integrated discussion boards, registration syncing (EDI), mailing lists, online resumes, surveys, and more. Catalyst became the framework for all internal intranet and administrative web applications, such as student record management, career services, and help desk management.
Following the release of version 2.0, it was packaged and sold to the Krannert School of Management at Purdue University, creating a revenue stream for GSM's continued development work. In 2001 Catalyst was purchased by the Haas School of Business at University of California, Berkeley.
The team was honored to accept an invitation to Harvard Business School to speak and demonstrate Catalyst to their development and technical staff in the summer of 1998. In the Spring of 2000, Catalyst was recognized as one of the top 50 Intranet systems by CIO magazine.Other creators -
