About Me
Hi, I'm Wilson.
I grew up in Colorado, came to BC for university, and have been happily living here since. I've spent six years as a whitewater guide and river manager, reading water, managing teams, and making calls where the consequences are immediate. Before that, I worked in the marine aquarium industry, propagating live corals and installing/maintaining reef systems across Colorado.
Two years ago I decided to learn to program. I haven't stopped building since.
I don't have a CS degree or ten years of experience. I have a strange background, good instincts, infinite curiosity, and a lot of projects. I'm looking for people who care about what they're building and could use someone who figures things out.

Let's Connect
I'm graduating in April 2026 and I can't wait to branch out. Whether you're building something that needs another set of hands, have a role that fits someone who works differently, or just want to talk about coral, rivers, or development, I'd love to hear from you.
I work best with over-thinkers and big-dreamers.
