LARRY A. WILLIAMSON LARRY.A.WILLIAMSON@GMAIL.COM CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIST NEW YORK, NEW YORK

A BRIEF HISTORY

I was ten years of age when first introduced to Windows Terminal, a 2400 baud modem and how to connect to another computer over a phone line. My excitement was limited at first however, as text would transmit only when the mouse was moved around. I would not be deterred from getting the full experience and, as such, eventually fixed the IRQ conflict between my mouse and modem. Soon afterwards I acquired a DOS terminal suite and a 28.8K modem. enjoying ANSI graphics, multi-user chat rooms, games and eventually bash shells running IRC. This was the point in my life where I became a sponge for anything computer related. It's almost twenty years later -- with fifteen of those consisting of professional experience -- and my passion is as strong as ever. From the moment I connected to my first BBS, I knew what I wanted to do, and that computers were going to change everything. I have been involved in hundreds of projects since my early foray into computers, including but not limited to: Design, Back-end and Front-end Development (Desktop and Web) as well as Technical Consultation and Support. Have seen over two-hundred projects through to completion for a number of clients in a wide range of categories.

OBJECTIVE

Every geek wants the perfect job, and I am no exception. I strive to find a forward thinking company where I can continue to expand my experience and satiate my passion for technology, design and interaction. The ideal company would have an appreciation for the passionate, multi-faceted and creative geek. I am not particularly interested in companies driven by salespeople, a good product should sell itself. Services and products should be intuitive, usable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing -- a reflection of not only the company but the artists and developers behind the process as well.

DIRECTOR, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MONSTER MEDIA, 2006 - 2008

Designed and developed a content delivery system utilizing the BitTorrent protocol, including a management interface that is used to create and assign content packages to remote systems. Systems are notified automatically when a package is assigned and the content transfers automatically. BitTorrent was chosen because of it’s inherit integrity checks and distribution of transfers amongst peers. Designed and developed a complete systems monitoring back-end to provide information and status updates nearly real-time, including projector and system status monitoring. Created live web interface for all systems on a single page. Server components were written in C#, Ruby, PHP, MySQL, and Apache. A lightweight network protocol was used to ensure communication across even problematic wireless connections.

SENIOR SOFTWARE ARCHITECT F4W, INC., 2003 - 2006

Designed and developed software suite that dynamically updates user lists and enables communication between various devices within wireless networks. The system automatically builds and maintains a list of available users associated with the network in real-time, without reliance on a centralized server for authentication. Various types of communication including text-based messaging, file transfer and audio / video communication are some of the primary features. The software is still being licensed to first responders today. Developed software which collects video from cameras connected to wireless mesh-networks, using numerous protocols. Presets can be created by administrators for easy access to pre- defined groups of devices while in the field. Primary intended use is for first- responders in areas where communications infrastructure has been compromised and/or destroyed. Software patents for both methodologies (20070200914 and

1. were granted in 2009.
