Hi I'm Will -- failed physicist turned tool maker
I started out trying to understand the world at the deepest levels, but discouraged by the speed of progress in fundamental physics turned my attention to building amazing products at rapid speed. At Stripe I lead the technical effort of the Data Platform Workbench team where we create best-in-class tooling for working with data. I'm from the US but have been living in Japan for the last 5 years.
