Senior🎓
Top SchoolBill Fraser is a systems-level software engineer with 17 years of experience building native C/C++/Rust software that sits close to the OS, currently working on Dropbox’s Magic Pocket storage system in Seattle. He has deep expertise in operating systems and mobile apps, previously shipping native platform libraries and cross-device entertainment apps at Microsoft and early mobile browser rendering work at Novarra/Nokia. Bill combines large-scale storage engineering with hands-on client-side feature development—he moved from implementing premium Android app features to designing and operating petabyte-scale infrastructure. Notably, he prefers low-level, OS-adjacent development and explicitly avoids cryptocurrency work.
