Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDemi Willison is a forward-deployed engineer with six years of hands-on experience building full-stack web systems, automation tooling, and high-performance research prototypes. Starting as the sole technical lead at a small agency in high school, they maintained 200+ client sites and automated workflows, gaining senior-level autonomy well before college. As a Sonoma State University curriculum co-author and collaborator on a capstone that produced a novel DFA generation method with a ten-billionfold speedup, Demi bridges applied research and production engineering. At Datadog they progressed from Technical Support Engineer—driving internal tooling like SupportRetriever and achieving top-tier CSAT/SLA—to a Forward Deployed Engineer role under NDA. Comfortable across C#, C++, Python, JavaScript/Node, OpenGL and full-stack stacks, they favor pragmatic tool choices and measurable impact. Based in Oakland, they combine early entrepreneurial grit with a track record of scaling solutions and presenting research to academic audiences.
