Summary
Blake Williams is a versatile software engineer with seven years of experience building front-end driven products and leading engineering teams across growth-stage startups and mid-size companies. A designer-turned-engineer, he has driven cross-functional initiatives from CMS overhauls and performance optimizations to new product launches—helping a push-notification product scale to millions of subscribers and significant daily revenue. He’s held principal and senior roles at companies like Tesseral, Portal Labs, and Segment, blending hands-on coding, architecture, and team processes to ship reliable web platforms. Based in El Paso, Blake pairs a strong UI/UX sensibility with pragmatic back-end experience (Python, Node, AWS) and a knack for turning prototypes into production-grade systems. Off the clock he’s a self-described horrible musician and aspiring sauciér, hinting at a creative, experimental approach to both code and craft.
