William Wiggin, MSW, LCSW, Software Architect
Mr. Wiggin is a clinical social worker and a programmer, a rare combination to be sure. He worked with a public behavioral health organization for 20 years overseeing program development and management of residential treatment programs. Bill also maintained a private practice that specialized in the assessment and treatment of youth with sexual behavior problems. Although he enjoyed the opportunities and challenges in social work, he didn’t stop pursuing his interest in computers and software development. Bill built his first computer in 1980 and quickly realized it couldn’t do much without software.
The idea of the computer doing whatever it was instructed to do fascinated Bill and he spent many years learning software design and development. Over the past 30 years, he developed encryption/decryption algorithms, computer-generated graphics, private practice management software, and websites for individuals and small companies. Bill began working with Barry Duncan in 2010 and was contracted to design and develop the content management system for the Heart and Soul of Change Project’s website. In 2014, Bill produced the architecture and later oversaw the development of the Application Program Interface (API) for Better Outcomes Now. He also developed the first two versions of the Better Outcomes Now client-side application. Bill is currently designing the fourth version of Better Outcomes Now.
