William Wright Email & Phone Number

Arlington, Virginia

I lead a group of software and electrical engineers building advanced prototype systems for US DoD research agencies and government contractors. In addition to my leadership and design roles, I am personally responsible for developing code in VHDL, C, C++, C#, Python, MATLAB, and Java.My team and I have developed and continue to enhance a suite of industrial AR and VR applications using commercial technologies including the Unity3D game engine, Intel Realsense cameras, Microsoft HoloLens, Apple ARKit, and Google Tango, ARCore and Daydream. We also leverage open-source software including PCL, OpenCV, VTK, ORB_SLAM2 and others to tailor the commercial offerings to the industrial environment. Our current focus is on improving the AR alignment accuracy to reduce or eliminate the need for manual measurement in construction.

I led development of wireless and wireline network protocol analysis equipment used by several government intelligence and law-enforcement agencies. I developed software to perform geolocation of WiFi access points and clients by fusing signal strength, line of bearing, and time of arrival measurements.I also carried out software reverse-engineering and development on a variety of processor architectures including ARM, MIPS, and IA32.

In this position, I was responsible for all aspects of real-time software and systems engineering. I worked with government customers (especially DARPA) to develop new approaches to longstanding problems. Among many other roles, I was the lead systems software engineer for the initial version of BBN's Boomerang sniper-detection product (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boomerang_%28countermeasure%29) which was developed in 65 days to respond to urgent battlefield needs.
