About Me

I'm Will, a technologist interested in ML research and building reliable, real-world systems. Throughout my career, I've spanned the full RE ↔ MLE ↔ SWE gammut, from developing novel NLP algorithms for global enterprise customers at ASAPP Research, to building on-chain asset management platforms with $100M+ under management at Gauntlet. I enjoy working on ambiguous, high-leverage problems with talented peers.

My technical interests include words like reinforcement learning, game theory, simulation, the quantification of risk and uncertainty, and LLMs. Throughout this blog, you'll find ample writing on these topics.

Recently, I've been training reward-based and regret-based models to learn the card game Monopoly Deal. This work involves building robust game engines, experimentation systems, and user interfaces, as well as leveraging both existing and novel algorithms to learn optimal game strategies. If you are a researcher or practictioner in this space, I'd love to connect.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, biking, and learning foreign languages (Spanish, French, and Russian). I once rode a bicycle 7,500 kilometers from Turkey to Kyrgyzstan through the Caucasus and Central Asian "Stans."
