Welcome to FortyTech - Where Innovation Meets Expertise

Greetings! I'm Will, the driving force behind FortyTech, your go-to destination for innovative solutions in the ever-evolving tech landscape. With a wealth of experience spanning nearly two decades in software engineering, I've honed my skills across various domains, emerging as a seasoned professional and problem solver.

My Journey

My venture in the tech world began at the age of 12, where I used trial and error to learn YaBasic. Sony's savvy move to classify their new Playstation 2 console as a "home computer" by shipping it with a programming language not only worked out well for them by avoiding European import taxes, but also sparked my interest in software engineering that now spans over two decades. Fuelled by an insatiable appetite for self-learning, this has enabled me to make a sizable contribution in a diverse range of roles that have shaped my now well-honed expertise.

From driving development projects at Archax, a pioneering digital assets platform, to championing software solutions at CloudMargin for efficient collateral management, my journey has been marked by a relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation. I've contributed my skills to renowned organizations like Nationwide and CDK Global, where I played pivotal roles in developing cutting-edge solutions and fostering a culture of productivity and innovation.
