"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.
Brad Rodriguez, Software Engineer, the Rubicon Project
"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.
Mark McEachran, Product Manager, the Rubicon Project "Will is an analytical thinker who enjoys solving difficult problems. And, he does this very well. His solutions are always of top-notch quality and elegant. Will is also a pleasure to work with as his easy-going style makes working together on difficult issues a breeze." April 25, 2012
Bill Willits, Database Administrator, the Rubicon Project "Working with Will has been a pleasure, he is extremely smart and it can be seen in his engineering implementations especially when designing expandability. Due to the amount of thought Will places into his implementations they rarely need to be refactored. Will's personality and attitude makes him a great mentor and great person to work with. I would recommend Will without hesitation." April 24, 2012

anywhere in the stack, as evidenced by his work on both big data and user interfaces at Rubicon. He has a great work ethic,
works well with others and communicates clearly.
