Hi, I'm Bill

I like to build, create, and share. Currently on a high growth sabbatical, focusing on four things:

• family
• building Hyperlint
• writing for Learn By Building, and
• advising startups in data, AI, and machine learning.

Prior to my 'sabbatical', I was founding PM and product management lead at Anyscale, an open source software unicorn delivering a platform for building and running AI applications. I helped grow the company from ~10 to 115 people during my tenure, building the initial PM team, first product version, and go-to-market functions.

Prior to Anyscale, I was an early solutions architect and PM at Databricks, where I was product manager for the first version of Delta Lake and co-authored "Spark: The Definitive Guide" with Matei Zaharia for O'Reilly Press.

I'm a UC Berkeley School of Information graduate (MIMS '16) and have been building in the data and AI space for over a decade. I've also worked at high-growth companies like Procore and started my career in various sales roles, including selling door-to-door.
