About Me
Get to know me better
Hi, I'm Will! I'm a Software Engineer passionate about building modern web applications and exploring the intersection of full-stack development, network infrastructure, and AI systems.
Currently, I'm working on expanding my skills with full-stack development, focusing on Next.js, TypeScript, and Go. I enjoy solving complex problems with efficient solutions and continuously learning new technologies. Right now, I'm building this portfolio site and exploring how to integrate AI-powered tools into development workflows.
When I'm not coding, you can find me experimenting with homelab projects, hitting the rock climbing gym, or exploring on my bike. I'm particularly interested in developer tools, AI integration, and building systems that boost developer productivity. AI is transforming software development, and I'm excited to be learning how to leverage it effectively both now and in the future.
