SKILLS
ABOUT CHASE WILLIAMS
I have 2 favorite things I\'ve built. First was a challenging tax product that I architected and built from the ground up, with awesome supporting teammates. Learned so much about modern scaling, deployment, security, infra as code, etc. That product was able to land us 2 large contracts from Meta and Sunrun. The second is a personal project that monitors, tracks, and alerts me to get a campsite for my entire family in a highly sought after campground in Idaho each year. Building useful and great projects is such a fun adventure.I love building things customers love. Working with Design, Product, and Engineering to build a product or solution in a seamlessly beautiful and harmonious way is my passion. I enjoy doing that the most with a great team that I can share a few laughs with while raising the standard.I\'m an Idaho man who loves everything active and outdoors from hiking and boating to snowboarding and fishing. I have 3 wonderful children and an amazing wife.
