👋 Hi, I'm Will, a software engineer based in New York.

I currently work at Netflix on the Game Systems team. We're helping build Netflix's new gaming catalog.

Before the games team, I worked on the API Adoption team. We created Netflix's first cross-platform GraphQL consumer product schema. This API powers our mobile, TV, and web clients.

Prior to Netflix, I worked on Amazon Alexa. I helped launch a new subscription service Alexa Together, which adds emergency helplines, fall detection, and healthcare alerts to the Alexa platform. I also helped build Alexa's privacy systems.

A couple other things I've worked on include iOS development and a business travel startup.

I graduated UVa in 2015 with a BA in Computer Science, and completed an MS in Computer Science in 2021 via Georgia Tech's OMSCS program. You can find me on LinkedIn or GitHub. Drop me a line at
