Hi! I'm Will Naugle, a software engineer with 6+ years of experience across the education, insurance, and finance industries. Currently based out of Los Angeles, California by way of Cleveland, Ohio.
I have had the opportunity to work with many different tech stacks throughout my career. I have worked at public institutions (The Ohio State University), early-stage start-ups (Beam Benefits), and late-stage start-ups as they transition into public companies (Upstart). Below you'll find a list of some of the technologies I've worked most closely with:
Java
Kotlin
Spring
Typescript
React
Next.js
Material UI
Tailwind CSS
Ruby
Rails
Postgres
Redis
Kafka
Debezium
Playwright
Temporal
KrakenD
FastAPI
pydantic-ai
pydantic-evals
When I'm not working, I love to cook and explore the restaurants around Los Angeles. My girlfriend Sarah and I enjoy hiking and camping with our two dogs Merlin and Penelope. When we're not feeling as active, you can usually find us watching movies.
