Profile: https://flows.cv/willkendall

I’m a software engineer with a track record of stepping into ambiguous technical spaces and delivering clarity through maintainable code and efficient, thoughtful systems. 

I’ve led automation efforts that dramatically increased team output, guided UX redesigns based on user research, and played an active role in hiring and cross-functional team alignment.

My experience ranges from building React/Next.js websites and architecting iOS apps, to developing backend infrastructure, content creation pipelines + tooling, and automated hardware systems. 

I’m motivated by solutions that support people and the work that they do!

## Work Experience
### Software Engineer @ Kibeam Learning
Jan 2023 – Present | Oakland, California, United States
Strongly advocated for and built tooling to translate non-technical content scripting to XML, eliminating the need to handwrite XML, and increasing team throughput by ~400%. This also improved content consistency, removing all the errors that come with handwriting XML.

As founding member of the Content Pipeline Team, I architected and implemented data structures and tooling for a new internal content creation software + translation of its output data to XML. This allowed our writers to script content in purpose-built software rather than Google Sheets, increasing throughput by a further ~200% (800% increase from initial process).

These systems were the result of persistent iterative analysis of bottlenecks, constant discussions across many teams - Audio Creation, Content Creation, Technical Designers, Quality Assurance, and Engineers.
