Introduction for Stephen D. Williams (sdw)

[Stephen Williams <sd...@lig.net>]

For the purposes of supporting the about to be proposed EXI incubator project, I'll introduce myself here:

I have a long background [3] in software development and related activities.  In addition to IETF (presence/IM) and W3C 
(XBC,EXI) participation for many years, I have long (since the mid-80s) used, promoted, and contributed to open source 
projects.  Recently, in addition to OpenEXI, I have been working on a fork of XBig for Java->C++ glue (overdue for release), 
creating a new Java PC simulator / visualizer as an applet (NSF grant with a professor at American University), and created a 
new very concise Java Dom/Sax parser (pending license release).  I have also been finding and working around bugs, limitations, 
and Apache software versioning issues for Android development.  At one point I was listed as a Linux kernel contributor (albeit 
for something minor).  I have been a CTO at a few startups, including, briefly, Jabber.com, Inc.  I'm currently an independent 
self-employed consultant (OptimaLogic, Inc.) doing deep Android Java/C++ and Qt/C++ development involving GUI interface and 
complex Oauth-like REST web APIs with crypto, XML, and related technologies.  Other recent development involves computer vision, 
augmented reality, and semantic desktop related information visualization, management, and sharing.

Thanks,
sdw
