William Laws is a seasoned IT leader with seven years of focused experience managing systems and infrastructure across a multi-campus higher education environment. As Sr. System Support Specialist Team Leader at Dallas College, he leads IT and A/V operations, drives imaging and provisioning with Microsoft Intune and Entra ID, and maintains asset and service-level discipline for a busy campus. He combines hands-on system administration (Active Directory, SCCM, VMware/Hyper-V, PowerShell) with vendor coordination and end-user liaison responsibilities, ensuring reliable day-to-day operations and smooth onboarding of staff. William also brings low-level development chops and real open-source impact, contributing UI and functionality enhancements to the widely used KDE Connect project. Known for translating technical complexity into practical processes, he’s equally comfortable scripting patches as he is advising stakeholders and steering cross-functional projects. Based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, he balances technical depth with leadership that keeps campus technology services resilient and user-focused.
