About Will

I'm Will Worth—based in Spain, thinking about the gap between what's possible and what exists.

By day I work as a software developer. But the thing that actually occupies my mind is what I call the technological overhang: we are surrounded by problems that are stuck not because they are technically hard, but because nobody is paying attention. AI has collapsed the cost of investigation. What problems are now tractable for people who previously couldn't contribute?

This site is my attempt to map those opportunities—what I call Avenues of Investigation. Domains where technology has outpaced deployment. Where the tools exist but the implementation lags. Where someone paying attention—armed with AI assistance and genuine curiosity—might actually move the needle.

I'm not claiming expertise in the domains I explore. I'm documenting the research process, sharing what I find, and inviting others to contribute. The goal isn't to have answers—it's to ask better questions and map the territory. More on why I'm doing this →

Current focus

  • Mapping technological overhangs—reconnaissance before commitment
  • Published: Landfill robotics as urban mining opportunity
  • Researching: Desalination deployment failures
  • Exploring: Underserved communities and AI-enabled tools
