Ben Williams
Summary
👤
SeniorBen Williams is a software engineer based in Redmond with 11 years of hands-on experience in systems and low-level software, currently joining Microsoft's Core OS / Base Kernel team. He has built complete virtual memory managers and a stripped-down UNIX-like OS, demonstrating deep expertise in virtual memory, synchronization, interrupts, and kernel security. His background spans embedded systems, FPGAs, computer vision, SLAM, AR, and HCI, reflecting a blend of systems programming and applied research interests. Ben also delivers practical tools with measurable impact—examples include an on-call scheduler saving clinicians hours per year and a training GUI adopted by ski patrols. He combines performance-driven development (using traces and debuggers) with rigorous academic foundations from Dartmouth College. Notably, he pairs kernel-level engineering skills with curiosity for spatial computing and human-centered interfaces.
