Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWill Monk is a London-based Co-Founder and CTO with 11 years of experience building and scaling customer-facing web platforms and developer tooling. Since co-founding PetsApp in 2019 he has combined product-facing leadership with hands-on engineering, previously serving as Tech Lead at PassFort where he worked across React/Flow frontends, Rust microservices, a Python monolith, and Kubernetes on GCP. He has driven high-impact replatforming work — notably leading a Trainline team that supported their £1.6bn IPO — and rebuilt frontend stacks and UI libraries at Sky Betting & Gaming. Equally comfortable shipping features and plumbing, he maintains CI/CD and testing infrastructure in open-source projects (resolving verdaccio/npm cache quirks and improving e2e scripts), reflecting a pragmatic DevOps mindset. Will brings an entrepreneurial, product-first approach that bridges stakeholder collaboration with reliable, production-grade engineering.
