"I had the benefit of working closely with Will for nearly two years on the Interfaces team at the Rubicon Project. During that time, Will was responsible for leading several critical engineering projects ranging from an multi-layered user authorization interface to a complete redesign of the company’s financial tracking system. On each project, Will was extremely effective in gathering the necessary requirements, drafting an elegant technical design, and successfully implementing a solution that met all project requirements.

Will is not only an avid problem solver who craves learning and stretching himself to tackle new challenges, he is also a willing teacher often encouraging others to stretch themselves as well. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Will, and recommend him with my highest regard." April 28, 2012

"I have worked very closely with Will at the Rubicon Project. As the engineering lead on the Bid Landscape Report, Will showed excellent skill in understanding the nuances of design, programming and scale during the concept phase. He understood the customer and their needs which guided his design contributions. The report he produced became a cornerstone of Rubicon's Real-Time Bidding product.

Will thinks on his feet and can plug into a variety of concepts quickly. His dogged nature makes him an extremely reliable asset. I would trust Will to lead any project, no matter how complex or difficult." April 27, 2012
