Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWill Ockelmann-wagner is a Senior Software Engineer based in Los Angeles with 12 years of hands-on experience building web and AR/blockchain products across startups and consultancy engagements. He blends full-stack expertise—from React, TypeScript, and Node to Elixir, Python, and Solidity—with product-facing leadership, having led teams, run agile processes, and shipped a geolocated AR platform and early NFT marketplace. Comfortable both coding and setting technical direction, he has repeatedly improved developer experience (e.g., cutting compile times via Vite/Storybook) and introduced typed functional programming practices to teams. An advocate of learning-by-building, he maintains active open source projects and runs local meetups and conferences to grow the community. Off the keyboard he’s into tiny mechanical keyboards and fitting types together as neatly as his kids fit Duplos—reflecting a pragmatic, playful approach to engineering.
