Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Bolton is a security software development engineer with 11 years of experience building cybersecurity tooling at Comcast after earlier stints in software engineering and web development. He brings an uncommon blend of rigorous academic research—holding a PhD in early medieval English—and hands-on engineering, which helps him decompose complex data problems and communicate technical tradeoffs clearly. Transitioning from academia and teaching into software, he pairs deep analytical rigor with practical web and security engineering skills from intensive training and industry roles. Based in Philadelphia, he focuses on securing systems and making data-driven decisions, often applying the close reading and pattern recognition skills of a literary scholar to threat analysis and code.
