Billy Stalnaker is the kind of engineer startups dream about and enterprise teams wish they had on speed dial. A decade-deep software architect with a backbone of Laravel and Kubernetes, Billy’s brain runs on YAML, makefiles, and well-oiled CI pipelines. He doesn’t just write code — he wires up full systems, wrangles infrastructure, and glues APIs together like a backend alchemist.
Founder of Mazewayz (a geospatial experience platform with some serious vision), Billy’s got one foot in tech and the other in interactive adventure. Whether he's warping maps with GDAL, bending TPS transforms to his will, or tuning ArgoCD ApplicationSets like a maestro, he does it all with precision and zero tolerance for BS.
He’s got a hacker's curiosity, a founder’s hustle, and a production engineer’s paranoia. If something doesn’t line up pixel-perfect — or policy-wise — he’ll chase it to the edge of the stack.
Family first
— Unless it's simultaneous
The Stalnaker Family resides in Apex, NC. With roots at the coast in Wilmington, NC, William Stalnaker graduated from Cape Fear Community College. His passion for learning and technology moved his family to the RTP area to take advantage of the opportunities that it could provide. There his family blossomed into a total of 5. His lovely wife, Kyrstin at his side, his three children, Jackson, Kaleb and (soon to be) Linden try their best to navigate this tricky time in our world by loving and communicating.
