Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Legate is a marketing lead and experienced software engineer with a decade of product and startup leadership, blending hands-on engineering (Objective-C, ES6/React/Node, C++, Python) with growth, PR, and founder experience. He co-founded and led consumer and prediction-market products—most notably #GoodPillow, which earned major media attention and was acquired—and has served as CEO, CMO, and growth consultant across multiple ventures. Equally comfortable shipping scalable systems (client-side SQLite, Flask APIs on AWS, DynamoDB/Redis) and running viral marketing campaigns, he has presented at TEDxTeen, Web Summit, and SXSW. An active open-source contributor, he has contributed TypeScript definitions to the widely used DefinitelyTyped repository, showing attention to tooling and developer experience. Based in Miami, he combines product instincts, media-savvy storytelling, and deep technical chops to launch and scale consumer-facing platforms. Notably, he helped build the tech behind a prediction product that influenced later stablecoin infrastructure used at scale.
