Top SchoolWilliam Buck is a Principal Engineer based in Los Angeles with nine years of experience building scalable, production-grade systems and leading cross-functional engineering teams. At Maestro.io he has grown from frontend/backend engineer to leading a ~15-person team, owning architecture reviews, coding standards, and performance-focused designs for high-concurrency features like a chat system handling over 1M WebSocket connections. His background in actuarial roles and finance gives him a quantitative bent for designing reliable transaction pipelines and optimizing backend RPC services for cost and responsiveness. He has hands-on experience with Apache Beam, Pub/Sub, Node, MongoDB, Redis, and large-scale real-time systems, and frequently partners with product and sales to translate technical trade-offs into business value. Known for bringing structure through Architectural Decision Records and developer processes, he balances technical leadership with day-to-day delivery. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic systems thinker who leverages analytical rigor from his actuarial past to solve complex engineering problems.
