About

Will Macdonald

I'm a MedTech advisor and AI enthusiast who recently returned to coding as a hobby to better understand generative AI solutions. My professional background spans MedTech & Medical Devices, Manufacturing Operations, Supply Chain & Logistics, and Regulatory & Compliance.

I specialize in AI solution design, prompt & context engineering, and facilitating executive brainstorming sessions using design thinking and value modeling methodologies. Whether it's architecting RAG systems or exploring the latest LLM capabilities, I love bridging the gap between technical possibilities and business value.

When I'm not coding or advising clients, you'll find me in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes, in my workshop building furniture, or out capturing moments through my camera lens.
