Will Klock is a versatile software engineer with 11 years of experience building production systems across startups and scale-ups, currently contributing at Kovo from Denver. His background spans UI/UX, infrastructure, tooling, and engineering management, with hands-on work in signal processing, high-performance computing, and speech ML from roles at NovuMind and academic research. Will has shipped features and developer-facing infrastructure—from contact center platform work at Twilio to release tooling and runtime improvements for SDKs—balancing speed and technical debt in fast-paced teams. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs practical engineering with product empathy and an entrepreneurial mindset honed by early indie projects and community-built game servers. An understated strength is translating research-level speech and ML work into reliable developer tools and deployable systems.
