Top SchoolWill Engler is a Senior Software Engineer in Chicago with 11 years building full-stack and backend systems across startups, government, and enterprise. He blends practical product delivery (JS, Python, Postgres) with infrastructure and automation expertise (Go, AWS, Terraform), recently focusing on AI and data infrastructure for science at Globus Labs. His background includes shipping real-time GIS and WebRTC features at Axon, reducing cloud provisioning lead times at Nava, and knitting together cross-team systems at Compass.
