Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Landau is an independent software developer and retired entrepreneur with over five decades of hands-on experience across startups, corporate R&D, and government labs, now selectively taking on projects driven by challenge and personal interest. He founded VersaForm Systems, producing one of the earliest Apple II database products and a longstanding EMR/billing system, and earlier managed backup/recovery and systems work at IBM including international assignments. More recently he builds practical voice-driven applications—such as an Android photo renaming/annotation app—and contributed a voice command system for robotics at Ubiquity Robotics. Based in Los Gatos with MA and AB degrees in mathematics from UC Berkeley and Cornell, he pairs deep systems-level knowledge with a pragmatic, product-focused approach. An underappreciated strength is his knack for turning research-era technologies into reliable commercial software that endures in production.
