I’m Will Mitchell. Build, learn, repeat.

Like many people, I didn’t start out in tech. I’ve worked in real estate since high school, and studied Economics in college. Along the way I picked up coding as a hobby, quickly realized how much I enjoyed it, and decided to make it my career. I kept working in real estate alongside it, and still do today through my own company, WVM Development.

Since those early days, I’ve worked as a software engineer, technical lead, instructor, and manager. Along the way, I led a team of engineering educators at the Turing School of Software & Design.

In the fall of 2023, I decided to make another pivot, and spent some time as a full time dad, while my wife, daughter, and I traveled the country in our RV.

These days I’m back to building software as a Senior Engineer at Govly, where I help build tools for government contracting. When I’m not working or chasing my daughter around, I spend my time learning new technologies, building side projects, and writing about my experiences.

Lately, I’ve also been working on acquiring small businesses. It pulls together most of what I’ve done so far: an economics degree, real estate work going back to high school, and more than a decade of building software and leading teams.

If you own a business and are thinking about what comes next, want to collaborate on a project, or just want to chat, feel free to reach out to me via whatever avenue you prefer!
