Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWill Goldstein is a Staff Software Engineer based in New York with 11 years of experience building data-informed web products and growth systems. He blends hands-on engineering, analytics, and product growth—moving from early analytics work at Artsy (where he modified tracking for the flagship artsy.net site) to data and growth roles at startups and scale-ups. His background spans front-end analytics, data engineering, and leadership roles including Director of Data and an MBA from Yale School of Management, giving him fluency in both technical execution and business strategy. Will has a track record of reducing noisy instrumentation and making A/B tests and analytics more reliable, which improves decision quality across teams. Comfortable in startups and large companies alike, he currently applies this mix of technical depth and product sensibility at Shopify. An uncommon detail: he once literally herded cows before turning that same practical, hands-on mindset toward shipping cleaner data and better user experiences.
