Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Blanchard is an interactive software developer with eight years of experience building tools that bridge web, firmware, and 3D/point-cloud workflows, currently developing LiDAR visualization and admin SaaS tooling at Thingz (formerly DMI). He brings deep C/C++ and Unreal Engine expertise—having built point-cloud viewers and collision-analysis tools—as well as GPU acceleration experience from parallelizing algorithms in CUDA during research at Iowa State's VRAC. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs Angular Material front-end work and API integration with hands-on hardware skills like PCB design and Cinema4D asset creation, reflecting his interest in Human-Computer Interaction and artful tech. Pragmatic and curious, he seeks to create efficient, intuitive software that improves data collection, system security, or user lives, and he deliberately cultivates an imperfect-but-growing understanding by learning new domains as projects demand.
