Larry is a flourishing Infosec consultant, startup founder, pioneering author, and former head of Amazon.com's Information Security team.
His success as an Infosec professional caps his atypically diverse career in the disciplines of enterprise and Web software development, operating system kernels, massive-scale server management, and data center operations.
As an entrepreneur, Larry was also the founder and chief architect at eSignet, a software startup which produced a proof-of-concept prototype of the most novel anti-phishing product to date. Its design was lauded by dozens of subject matter experts and led to the filing of two pending patents.
During his 7-year tenure at Amazon.com, Larry played material roles in SOX 404 and PCI/DSS compliance. He founded and managed sundry software teams that built the company's server automation frameworks that came to scale the footprint by nearly 30X. He also led the engineering team that powers Amazon.com Associates, the Web's largest online affiliate program, and operationalized the production launch of Amazon.com Web Services Version 1.0.
Larry has advised a publicly traded firewall company on the design of a first-of-a-kind product, and has sat on the technical advisory boards of four Infosec companies.
