Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWill Bryant is an engineering leader and advisor with 11 years building data-intensive, production-grade systems at the intersection of engineering and data science. Trained as a chemical engineer, he applies scientific rigor to trade-offs like cost-per-transaction, deliberate tech debt, and statistical approaches to coverage while owning projects end-to-end from research to scaled deployment. He has repeatedly bootstrapped engineering teams and platforms—from a multilingual NLP relevance engine that handled 20k requests/min at <150ms to migrating an 8-year backend and cutting ops costs by ~95%—and has served as Portfolio CTO for multiple seed-stage companies across four continents. As CTO at startups like ProofPerks and The Promontory/PRMNTRY he combined ML, CV, and product integration work (including building a $250k training corpus and a high-throughput age-verification flow) with hands-on infrastructure and client-facing SDKs. Will thrives in early-stage and growth environments where deep technical problems—ML engineering, data infrastructure, and high-throughput systems—require full-stack ownership and disciplined engineering judgment. Based in San Francisco, he’s open to roles at Series B+ companies or larger tech teams that want an operator who can turn research into reliable production.
