Will Button
Director Of Engineering, Platform
Ontario, Oregon, United States
Summary
🤩
RockstarWill Button is a Director of Engineering and seasoned startup technologist with 11 years of experience designing cost-effective, scalable platforms and guiding non-technical founders from MVP to exit. He blends hands-on infrastructure and DevOps leadership—most recently at Polygon Labs and katana—with strategic fiscal stewardship, deliberately managing technical debt to align engineering costs with revenue and risk. Will has helped startups across retail, fitness, healthcare, logistics, and education solve industry-specific compliance and reporting challenges while cutting operating expenses (e.g., a 30% OPEX reduction during an AWS migration). A prolific educator and communicator, he’s published 150+ technical videos, authored a Packt book on blockchain development, co-hosts Adventures in DevOps, and co-organizes the Phoenix DevOps Meetup. Based in Oregon, he’s equally comfortable mentoring executive teams as he is implementing resilient, growth-ready infrastructure.
