After earning a degree in computer science from Otago, Will joined Massive Software, a company that creates software for the visual effects industry and has among its clients Weta Digital and Rhythm & Hues (associated with the Narnia film). Will writes: "Having worked at Massive for almost three years I am ready for new things - game development for the Auckland-based company Binary Star. My time in Otago will always be recalled fondly by me - the atmosphere of the town and the campus life is worth going for alone!"
