Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Brinkert is a software engineer with 11 years of experience who builds high-performance, interactive web experiences at AKQA in San Francisco while based in Concord, CA. He blends full‑stack web development skills (Ruby, Rails, Sinatra, JavaScript) from Dev Bootcamp with a deep background in live production technology and lighting systems, giving him a practical edge in real-time, performance-driven interfaces. His career began in theater and live shows—rising to lighting supervisor and master electrician roles at Blue Man Group—so he brings production-grade discipline to complex deployments and cross-disciplinary collaboration. At AKQA he has transitioned apprenticeship experience into sustained engineering work, applying creative-technology sensibilities to client-facing digital products. Comfortable with both code and hardware, he has hands-on familiarity with microcontrollers, DMX systems, video tech and 3D tools like Blender, which surfaces in interactive and tactile projects. This combination of theatrical rigour and modern web engineering makes him adept at shipping resilient, immersive user experiences under tight live deadlines.
