Will Ricketts
I’m a software engineer and engineering leader based in Florida. I build AI-native teams and engineering processes, and I’m hands-on with the systems that make them possible.
What I do
AI-native engineering teams
I’ve spent years leading teams and mentoring engineers. Today, I lead the move to agentic development across multiple teams at my company, with responsibility for the implementation, engineering policy, and rollout.
Engineering process
Giving agents real responsibility changes how you plan and review work. I design that process from the product brief through to a merged change, including the checks along the way and the decisions that need an engineer’s judgment.
Agent infrastructure
Agents spend a lot of time rediscovering things a team already knows. I build knowledge graphs and MCP servers to give them that context, along with systems that let agents coordinate their work and carry useful lessons into the next session.
Software engineering
I’ve been a professional software engineer since 2012, working in robotics, healthcare, fintech, and bitcoin. Elixir and the BEAM are a particular strength, and I also work in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Rust.
Get in touch
I’m looking for a role that brings together engineering leadership and hands-on work with AI infrastructure. If your team is making that transition, I’d like to hear what you’re building.
