Larry Karnowski’s Summary
I have over ten years experience developing user interfaces, especially for computer network management. I strive to make the complex and ever-changing world of computer network management a usable and fun experience for my users.
I have over ten years experience leading teams from three to twelve developers. I have designed, implemented, and tested software through all stages of the software lifecycle. I have coached dozens of junior and mid-level developers.
At my HickoryWind.org web site, I've written about music for five years. For the past three years I've managed ten other authors in writing daily articles about traditional and tradition-based acoustic music. My web site sees thousands of visitors each month.
