Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolWilliam Spies is a Staff Software Engineer and robotics specialist with eight years of experience building autonomous systems, computer vision pipelines, and embedded software for logistics and industrial automation. He blends startup and consulting experience—most recently founding Fenris Robotics and leading engineering at companies like Outrider, Viam, and True Anomaly—shipping systems used by Fortune 500 clients and in automated yard operations. His academic work in computational photography and 3D reconstruction at Northwestern complements practical expertise in point-cloud generation, structured-light metrology, and parallel/embedded programming. William’s background as an electrical design engineer and project lead at ATS gave him end-to-end delivery chops from budgeting and system design through deployed product support. Based in Denver, he pairs hands-on hardware/electronics experience with modern robotics software, and quietly applies consumer-grade cameras and novel algorithms to make precise, low-cost metrology and perception solutions.
