Hey everyone. My name is Will Chandler and I'm a software engineer.

A sixth-generation Texan, I've lived in Mexico, Scotland, and Spain. I recently made the move from Austin (awesome but hot) to Portland (awesome and not hot).

For many years, I went down a liberal arts and social sciences path. I studied Spanish and earned a Masters in international relations. I supervised international academic programs, and managed an interdisciplinary human rights center.

But throughout this journey, I knew that my true calling lay elsewhere. Programming had always intrigued me, and when I finally took the plunge into software development, it was clear that I had found my lifelong career.

I completed a full stack web development bootcamp through the University of Texas at Austin. Since then I've worked for companies like Udemy, where I am constantly challenged and always learning. I couldn't be happier.
