Will Rowston
Engineer and founder
I'm a senior software engineer at The Home Depot, where I work on the Java and TypeScript services that source an order and get it to a customer — about 500 million transactions on a typical day, more than a billion when it's busy.
I'm also co-founder and CTO of Spandrel, the operating system for commercial general contractors.
On my own time I run Inference Partners, a small studio where I design and ship products myself, and I share how I build with agents as a SpaceXAI Ambassador.
Previously, I taught myself to code and changed careers in 2020. The logging platform I built at The Home Depot took more than a million dollars a year off the cloud bill.
Away from the keyboard I ski in Utah, watch Georgia football, and hang out with my wife, our dog, and our daughter.
