Open to 2027 internships

I build systems
that help builders.

I'm Will Turchin, a software engineer focused on platform engineering, infrastructure, and developer tooling—from embedded telemetry to CI/CD.

01 / APPROACH

I like the layer beneath the product.

Reliable infrastructure.
Thoughtful tooling.
Less friction.

The best systems disappear into the work. I build foundations that make engineers faster, deployments safer, and complex data easier to understand.

Selected experience

Where I've made an impact.

Platform-minded engineering, technical leadership, and systems that operate in the real world.
