Summary
Bill Prin is a software engineer in the San Francisco Bay Area with 11 years of experience building large-scale systems, full-stack products, and AI-powered applications after senior roles at Google and Pinterest. He combines infrastructure chops (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes, CI/CD) and data systems (Kafka, BigQuery, Elastic) with hands-on web and mobile development (React, Next.js, React Native) to ship end-to-end products like Live Poker Theory, a monetized SaaS with 8k+ users. Currently focused on MCP, agents, and LLM integrations at Workato, Bill also writes the AI Engineering Report and creates practical content on LLMs, vector DBs, RAG, and prompt/context engineering. His background includes hardening Python packaging at Pinterest, optimizing growth analytics with Airflow/Spark, and turning a test Docker Compose build into a $1M+ entry product—evidence of both technical depth and product-minded engineering.
