Profile bio

About William Tran

After a fulfilling and well earned hiatus from innovating for over 2 decades, I'm now hungry for the next challenge.I graduated from the University of Toronto in 2006 at the dawn of cloud computing, and led a team of engineers to SaaS-ify an existing product using the Spring Framework as an AWS beta user. For that first startup, and for every subsequent founder that trusted me to wear many hats as a technical lead, I was able to directly address their needs to scale revenue, headcount, global reach, IP, and engineering capability; and all of their companies were acquired. I am so grateful for their trust in me. While my passions are deeply rooted in R+D and working at the bleeding edge within open source communities, I also find human connection to be one of the most satisfying aspects of working in software. My versatility comes from a desire to connect with and understand fellow engineers, customers, product managers, new employees, seasoned veterans, and executives. Knowing my people and where the business is going allows me to see opportunities and make strategic decisions that pay off with compounding value. I love helping others get the most out of what they're working on, whether it's presenting to a crowd, or one-on-one. Even better is when they teach me a thing or two that I never expected. I've previously presented at microXchg (Berlin 2017), Cloud Foundry Summit (Shanghai 2015), and SpringOne (USA 2015, 2014), mostly about cloud application security and Spring.

My career began at Honeywell as a high school student, when I was hired to work the summer after an unpaid internship.
