My digital garden built around case studies — not screenshots.
I'm Will, Founder, AI Scientist & Backend Engineer focused on building systems that move real business metrics.
Every major decision is documented—because great engineers don't just build things, they explain why.
Read my journeyTraditional window managers (X11-based or C-written Wayland compositors) often suffer from two extremes: they are either incredibly fast but prone to segfaults (C), or highly extensible but sluggish and resource-heavy (Lua/Python). I needed a daily driver that offered absolute memory safety without sacrificing the raw performance required for high-refresh-rate window management.
Reviving legacy hardware requires more than just a 'light' OS; it requires an architecture that refuses to waste a single CPU cycle. I needed a setup for machines with limited RAM and aging silicon that could still perform like a modern workstation for development and terminal-centric tasks.
"Will is an exceptional engineer who pairs technical brilliance with long-term vision. He doesn’t just solve problems; he builds a knowledge base around them. By documenting the 'why' behind every solution, he’s empowered the team to scale efficiently and effectively eliminated the cycle of repeating past mistakes."
"Working with Will has been a career-defining experience. He didn't just help me meet my goals—he helped me shatter them in half the expected time. His ability to implement innovative scaling strategies completely transformed how I approach my business."
