Summary
William Tran is a Go and Python backend engineer based in Los Angeles with 8 years of software development experience and a decade-long foundation in finance and operations. He builds production-ready services and tooling—recently shipping a Go-based system monitor with real-time WebSocket alerts, SMS integration, and scheduled checks, and a Go project templating CLI that includes auth, caching, and multi-backend file support.
