Hi! I’m Will Stenzel, I help mindful innovators turn their ideas into reality.

As an engineer, I'm passionate about using modern tools to build dynamic products and help businesses scale.

Current Projects

Solopreneur Playground

Solopreneur Playground is a community that brings together solopreneurs finding their niche to share inspiration, stories, and challenges to help people discover ways to work that feel like play.

Personalized Nose Filters

Working on a project to create personalized custom fit nose filters for people with allergies. The goal is to use imaging techniques to detect nose shape and size and then 3D print custom filters.

Past Projects

Oasis

Founded a software develpoment mentorship organization at Northeastern that helps students build their first software projects.

Office Hours App

Built a web app that manages the queueing system for students and TA's and provides analytics to professors and administrators at Northeastern.

Prota Ventures

Built knowledge infrastructure to enable the organization to scale more efficiently and automated repetitive tasks.

Philosophy

With rapidly changing business needs, the key to success is adaptability. Until recently, the only way to accomplish this was by building an application from scratch with a team of developers. Now, by thoughtfully leveraging code and no-code solutions, individuals or small teams can design products that evolve quickly while providing a great user experience.
