Will is the AI Engineering Lead on the recently released Ara: History Untold. He is also a graduate student at the University of Maryland working in differentiable programming, and deep learning for games. Before computer science, Will was a physics student, who really just wanted to make video games. In his spare time Will enjoys movies, food, and gaming with close friends and family. He's also shorter than his girlfriend when she's wearing heels, but has in recent years grown (emotionally) to be able to handle that.
