About Will Spearman

I am an experienced software engineer, focused on design and architecture.After getting my Masters in Computer Science from Clemson University, I worked as an automation engineer on a performance analysis team at Netapp. On this team I gained experience in scripting, software development, hardware automation, testing, performance analysis, and system administration.In 2014, I entered a proposal in the Netapp WARP Innovation Challenge. My proposal was selected to enter a proof of concept phase, and was then selected to become a long-term project called CMAPLpy. As lead developer of CMAPLpy, I developed a software library in Python for extracting and analyzing Data ONTAP\'s Counter Manager Archiver data, and increased the adoption of more rigorous performance measurement techniques throughout the company.In 2015, I became a software engineer at ScienceLogic where I worked on a distributed Agile team developing Python applications for monitoring IT assets in complex business environments. I actively pushed for improved development tools such as unit testing, functional testing, and continuous integration.In 2016, I become a software architect at ScienceLogic focused on applications development on the SL1 platform. I currently work across the company to ensure SL1\'s architecture facilitates easy monitoring application development.In 2020 I began working as part of the core architecture group at ScienceLogic, working to address the long-term roadmap for ScienceLogic and next generation platforms and features.I enjoy learning new programming languages, new technologies, and new processes for being a more efficient developer. I enjoy collaborative environments as well as working on my own, and am always looking for new challenges. Don\'t give me the easy stuff.
