About
Hey, I'm William 👋
I build and improve systems for a living. My interests sit somewhere between automation, cloud, governance, service management, and figuring out how to make complicated things feel simple.
I'm passionate about solving problems, reducing toil, and creating solutions that are reliable, maintainable, and actually useful. I enjoy diving deep into technology, but I'm just as interested in the people and processes that make it successful.
When I'm not working, you'll find me hanging out with my family, drinking coffee, tinkering with side projects, or disappearing down a technical rabbit hole that absolutely wasn't supposed to take all weekend. 😅
Current obsessions: automation, continuous improvement, ADHD-friendly productivity, GitHub, cloud platforms, and keeping the number of open browser tabs below a socially unacceptable level. 😄

What I actually do
Most of my work sits at the intersection of automation, cloud platforms, governance, and service management. I like finding the places where processes are painful and making them not be. Reducing toil is basically my love language.
I'm comfortable across Python, Rust, Ruby, and C, and I've spent years hopping between Windows, Linux, and macOS. That cross-platform existence has made me pretty pragmatic — I care about what works well for the humans using it, not just what looks good on a slide.
I believe good systems are quiet. They get out of the way and let people do their best work.
The ADHD thing
I'm exploring my own neurodiversity — including a likely ADHD diagnosis as an adult. Understanding how my brain actually works has been genuinely clarifying. Hyperfocus? Pattern-spotting at speed? Falling completely into a rabbit hole and emerging four hours later with a working prototype? Turns out those aren't bugs.
It's made me more compassionate with myself, and more curious about how different people think, learn, and thrive. Also a big fan of ADHD-friendly productivity systems, because the alternative is seventeen open browser tabs and a cold coffee.
Dad first
I'm raising a child with vision impairment and neurodiverse needs, which has taught me more about design, empathy, and resilience than any professional training ever could. It means constantly adapting, advocating, and learning.
Fatherhood shaped how I think about systems. The best ones are accessible, forgiving, and built for the full range of humans — not just the assumed default user. It's made me more patient, more intentional, and more committed to designing environments where people feel safe and capable.
Beyond the keyboard
Outside work, I'm usually still making something — whether that's a side project that definitely won't take all weekend, a new coffee brew method I'm overcritiquing, or a whiskey I'm very seriously evaluating. I genuinely enjoy cooking, music, and spending time with my family, who keep me grounded, inspired, and laughing.
I'm always learning, always building, and trying to leave things a little clearer and kinder than I found them.
