Hey! My name is Will Taylor. I grew up in Spokane, Washington, and I’m a Software Engineer currently based in Seattle, Washington. I have a degree in Computer Science with a specialization in Data Sciences from the University of Washington: Seattle, and graduated in March of 2021.
Along with that, I am a former StarCraft II player, coach, captain, etc. for Rise eSports, an international eSports organization active from 2015-2020, as well as having been heavily involved in its founding. Ironically, my time competing in StarCraft II is actually how I found myself pursuing a career in software engineering in the first place. I found that my interest in StarCraft was actually in on-the-fly problem solving and predicting behavior, which aligns itself very well with engineering.
So far as my career in engineering is concerned, my aspirations lean towards security and/or system architecture. I'm constantly looking to challenge myself; to learn more about the field and find ways to increase my impact wherever I'm working, whatever I'm working on. I love to build things, and I love to solve problems.
