Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWill Doenlen is a Senior Staff Software Engineer and product-minded founder with 12 years of experience building consumer and enterprise web and mobile products, currently shaping AI-driven solutions at Norm Ai. He co-founded Persona, built its React Native mobile and React web apps, and led the company from prototype to seed-stage growth while running product, engineering and even a physical community space. Will combines front-end craftsmanship—visible in contributions to Artsy’s React/Relay codebase and mobile refactors—with product leadership that drove measurable growth in auctions and user acquisition. He has a creative practice that informs his work, making art about the absurdities of modern SaaS (yes, including Google Calendar), and he deliberately builds products to enable sustainable creative communities. His background spans startups and scaled teams at Asana and Autodesk, and he has launched experimental blockchain and location-aware apps that received broader press attention. Based in New York, he pairs entrepreneurial breadth with hands-on technical depth across UX, architecture, and go-to-market execution.
