Willys Varela — Software Developer & Creator of Split Poster
The Story Behind Split Poster
Hey there! I'm Willys — a software developer with 10+ years of experience helping big companies build amazing products. I've spent my career deep in the trenches of web development, turning complex problems into elegant solutions.
Split Poster was born out of a ridiculously simple frustration: I wanted to print a massive poster at home and realized there was no good, free, privacy-respecting tool to do it. So I built it myself. What started as a quick weekend project turned into something thousands of people now use to create classroom displays, event banners, Instagram carousels, and wall art.
What I Believe In
- Tools should be simple — If it takes more than 30 seconds to figure out, it's too complicated.
- Free means free — No "free trial" bait. No watermarks. Split Poster is free because useful tools shouldn't have paywalls.
- Privacy is non-negotiable — Your images stay on your device. Period.
- Ship it, then improve it — Perfect is the enemy of done.
A Decade in the Trenches
Over the past 10+ years I've had the privilege of working with companies of all sizes — from scrappy startups to large enterprises — building products used by millions. Split Poster is built with React, TypeScript, and Vite — modern tools that let me ship quickly and maintain quality.
