Bram Smeets is an enterprise java architect who has been working with Java since 1996 and J2EE since early 2000 and has been at the forefront of numerous Agile development projects over the last few years. He has extensive experience with requirements analysis and high-level application design.

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.
