William Mays

Front End Engineer

I build digital experiences for the web, focusing on turning unique ideas into accessible, well-crafted projects.

I'm a developer who is always thinking of new ideas, constantly seeking opportunities to solve real-world problems through technology. My passion lies in taking these ideas and turning them into robust, well-crafted solutions that are both effective and user-friendly.

Currently, I'm working on Crowdfighter, a platform designed to empower professional fighters to crowdfund their fights. I'm focused on developing major plans to take Crowdfighter further, with the aim of expanding its reach and making a significant impact in the world of boxing.

In the past, I've had the opportunity to develop software across a variety of settings — including advertising agencies, large corporations, start-ups, and small digital product studios. I also have a keen interest in cryptocurrency and am fascinated by how it could impact our daily lives in the future.

In my spare time, you can usually find me helping out at the boxing gym, playing computer games, or exploring new places through travel.
