Summary
William Robertson is a technical lead and creative technologist with nine years of experience designing resilient experiential systems for global events and interactive art installations. Currently leading Experience Reliability Engineering at Google, he blends mobile, AR/VR, and systems engineering to keep large-scale audiovisual and experiential platforms running smoothly. He co-founded virtual museum DiMoDA and has a long track record building Unity apps, server tooling, and in-gallery interactive systems that bridge art and production-grade software. Comfortable leading cross-disciplinary teams, William pairs hands-on development in C#, Swift, and web technologies with creative direction and rapid prototyping. Based in Los Angeles, he maintains an independent practice producing experimental installations and freelance engineering work, bringing an artist’s sensibility to robust technical architectures. His trademark wryness—“a developer is never late…”—hints at a pragmatic, deadline-focused approach to creative engineering.
