Building with React Next.js JavaScript

I build and ship products for the web — from full-stack applications to growth systems. My background spans computer science, digital marketing, and business development, so I think about both the code and the people using it.

A bit about me

I'm Austin — a software engineer based in San Diego, CA. I enjoy building things for the web, from small interactive components to full-stack applications.

My background spans both engineering and business, which means I don't just think about the code — I think about who uses it and why. I've worked in digital marketing and business development, and I bring that product-aware mindset into every technical project.

When I'm not at the keyboard I'm out flying drones or exploring San Diego.
