The office nameplates along @Large Software's one short hallway are an inspiration. They read like a 1990s version of Hollywood's World War II bomber crew. There's Andy Bang, Co Huang, Sharam Sasson, Maurizio Gianola. Edward Montgomery shares an office with Yuri Zhovnirovsky, Roberto Jeres bunks with Jen Yu, and Alex Sherstinsky is doubled up with Samir Elias. Pamela Reilly, Karen Cooper and Steven Kishi are down the hall...
