William Hinderman is a product-focused engineering leader and founder with 11 years of experience building responsive web platforms, experimentation frameworks, and design systems across companies from startups to Amazon-acquired One Medical. He has led cross-functional departments—most recently the Clinical Experience and Design Systems teams at One Medical—and now heads AI-accelerated SDLC practice at Slalom Build while winding down his podcast startup Shortwave. William blends hands-on architecture (marketplace web stacks, A/B experimentation engines, analytics) with product strategy and people development, repeatedly turning prototype ideas into scalable SaaS offerings. He authored a book on responsive data visualization and has a track record of reducing cycle time and shipping zero-downtime experiment platforms in high-traffic environments. Not an obvious detail: he moves fluidly between founding products (Shortwave, Nomad) and driving enterprise adoption of lightweight experimentation and CI/CD practices. Based in Chicago, he combines entrepreneurial grit with a proven ability to institutionalize experimentation and measurable product optimization.
