Alex Smith has always been interested in technology and he is continuously trying to determine “how and why” things work. Smith has been building websites since age 12; running web servers and other technology operations in his basement.
Smith is an active member of Canon Professional Services and The Professional Photographers of America. He envisions a more connected web with better sharing and communicating of ideas, problems and solutions to bring the world closer together, but in a “cleaner” way.
Smith is the a co-founder of JDAlexander Enterprises (JDA), a web & mobile technology company, along with his business partner, David Weiser. JDAlexander Enterprises has two subsidiaries and one self-branded product each with its own software platform, target market and user base. JDA actively participates in research and has pending patents for human identification, skin recognition, and feature detection algorithms, both for open-source and private projects. JDA's only self-branded product, TeleForce targets small businesses with unique Client Relationship Management software designed from the ground up with efficiency and ease-of-use in mind. JDA is also a major shareholder of NowOnCampus, a student-driven events website for college campuses enabling easier finding, sharing and discussing of college-campus based events.
Outside of business, Smith enjoys tennis, photography, German cars and spending time with family, friends and pets..
WebCamWidow.com started out as a simple experiment conducted by Alex Smith and David Weiser in Smith's basement in Atlanta. The two wanted to see if filtering inappropriate content (much of it X-Rated) out of a live streaming video feed, without a time delay, was possible or even feasible. They succeeded, to say the least. That's when is experiment became more of a company...
WebCamWindow's patent-pending technology has since become even faster, more accurate and in many ways, a threat to online video-chat perverts worldwide.
In December 2010, Smith and Weiser held a small event for the media and technology bloggers in Austin. As a result, local NBC affiliate KXAN and YNN Austin interviewed the WebCamWindow co-founders on the air.
WebCamWindow was briefly involved with the Brian Cork Accelerator but departed shortly after coming on board. It was felt that the Accelerator was not capable of providing any further value to WebCamWindow.
WebCamWindow will be the Random Video Chat application preferred by connected 13 to 35 year olds seeking to find and make new friends around the world, and business people seeking real-time and random global collaboration, in a “clean and safe” online environment.
