Summary
William Rutherford is a Site Reliability Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience and a 7-year programming focus in C-like languages (C++ and Java), now applying that low-level rigor to SRE at Dayforce. He combines backend systems expertise with front-end chops in HTML, JavaScript and CSS, a versatility honed by building end-to-end solutions as a freelance developer for small businesses. His University of Toronto background in CS and Stats underpins interests in machine learning, cryptography, decentralized networks, and applied mathematics, informing practical, security-minded engineering decisions. Notably, he has automated entire workflows—mailing pipelines and user-management databases—that reduced manual effort to zero while preserving operational safeguards. Comfortable both in collaborative production teams and as a sole developer, he brings a pragmatic, systems-first approach to reliability and automation. Based in Old Toronto, he blends low-level curiosity with product-focused delivery.
