hey i'm bill
Welcome to my website, hope you find what you're looking for! I'm interested in bridging the gap between people, computing, and data especially when it comes to sustainability.
Cockroach Labs
My current role and first job out of college!
Credit Karma
The summer after my senior year, I decided to give product management a try as an intern at Credit Karma. It was super rewarding to be trusted with the entire unauthenticated personal loan marketplace. It gave me a completely new perspective on tech, and I had a blast, especially given it was during covid.
Watershed Climate
For a few weeks, I worked on Data Engineering at Watershed Climate, a startup dedicated to helping companies cut carbon. I was actually the first non-founder to work on the product "full time"! It was rewarding, though that meant the learning curve was incredibly steep. Although I'm no longer working on it, I'm still really excited to watch it grow as tool in the fight against climate change.
Accel
I'm one of the 25 chosen to be a part of the 2020-2021 cohort of Accel Scholars! It has been an amazing community to be a part of and would highly recommend anyone into startups at Berkeley to apply. Really grateful to Amit Kumar for creating this amazing community, and I can't wait to get to know everyone in it better!
RISELab
I worked on the E-Mission platform under the great Randy Katz, supervised by PhD student K. Shankari to help move the needle forward on how we think about sustainable travel behavior and technology. This was my first foray into research so I'm forever grateful to Shankari for taking a clueless freshman in (me!) and taking time to mentor me.
QT Ultrasound
My first internship summer 2018! I learned so much about not only CS but the plight that women (and men!) have in managing their breast health and how QT is really revolutionizing that space. It also got me thinking about user experience research which indirectly later led me to Watershed.
Blend
I was a software engineering intern here summer 2019. I worked on Blend's moonshot blockchain project, finprint. It was incredibly rewarding working on such cutting edge technology. Had a blast with all the amazing people I met there (shoutout to my mentors Ken and Arjun). The best thing was, I felt like I was making a massive impact all while I was having all that fun.
Cal Transpo Engineering Competition Team
From freshman to senior year, I was a part of the ASCE transportation engineering competition team. I worked mostly on models and operations even though I had zero civE or IEOR experience before joining. Happy to say in my time, we became the international champions!
Computer Science Undergraduate Association
Officer of the CSUA and former Outreach Co-Chair on the Exec Board. I joined this club very early my first semester, and I'm so glad I did. With the competition of CS clubs at cal, I'm glad CSUA is a bastion of inclusivity- it really made me feel part of the community. Check us out @ 311 Soda for tutoring and more!
Bay Area Environmentally Aware Consulting Network
I wore many hats at BEACN, from consultant to project manager to vice president. I worked with the beyond coal campaign helping with analytics and data science. I've helped organize talks on transit!
