Will Hackett

Building thoughtful AI products

About

I'm Will, a software engineer based in London. Originally from Australia, I've been building software for over 12 years. I recently founded Pragmatic Builders Inc. and serve as its CTO, where we're building an AI workforce—starting with Jamie, an AI assistant that actually handles your email and gets things done.

Previously I've worked with some great teams at Pactio, Blinq, Linktree, AutoGrab and OpenClub. The journey from FinTech to AI has been interesting—turns out understanding financial systems helps a lot when building ML infrastructure. Who knew?

Based in London but working globally. Always happy to chat about AI/ML, technical architecture, or why Australian coffee is superior. And yes, I'm the software engineer Will Hackett, not the soap opera character. Google still hasn't figured that out yet.
