Will | technology & experience
I bring over three decades of experience in technology leadership, product development, and infrastructure strategy to my role as CTO and Co-Founder at ProudZone. My career has spanned startups and global enterprises, with a focus on cloud platforms, distributed systems, and building resilient teams that deliver at scale.
My approach combines deep engineering expertise with a commitment to real-world impact. I believe the best technology quietly empowers people — and that great teams thrive on transparency, curiosity, and shared purpose. At ProudZone, I lead our platform strategy, product infrastructure, and a growing engineering team focused on building inclusive, secure systems that scale efficiently and reliably.
As a committed ally and upstander, I actively champion equity and inclusion. This commitment involves working to dismantle barriers and ensure every individual has the opportunity to thrive. Fostering safe, welcoming environments, where every voice is valued, is the foundation for both a vibrant culture and groundbreaking code.
In my free time, I pursue passions like photography, making and listening to music, inventing electronics, hiking, camping, and automating whatever I can at home.
