About brwillia

I enjoy building products that shape the future, especially ones that upend a market or define a new one. (I believe this rebuilding is the essence of economic growth.) I have experience managing teams of hardware, software, and web engineers, as I problem-solve side-by-side with them, or from another continent.

I enjoy building PCB schematics, writing code (especially firmware or close-to-metal), but I also excel at business development-type skillsets when they are needed, including VC pitches and strategic product (or IP) partnerships.

I consider myself detail-oriented, but I also can see and negotiate within the frame of the big picture. This allows me to devise technical and managerial solutions to the most intricate problems, without losing sight of the larger goals at hand.
