Hi, I'm Austin.
I build fast, clean, beautiful software.

I'm a developer who's happiest when something clicks — a sluggish query that suddenly flies, a UI that finally feels right, a tangle of business logic that collapses into a handful of clean functions. That's been the throughline of the last decade for me: finding the satisfying version of the problem.

Most of what I build lives inside pharmacies and back offices — not flashy, but it has to be right. I care about details other people might not notice: a keyboard shortcut that saves ten seconds, a loading state that doesn't jank, an error message that actually helps. Good software respects the person using it.

These days a big part of the job is people: leading the developers and DBAs at AlignRx, mentoring, and making sure the team has what it needs to do its best work. The best thing I can build now is a team that builds great software.

Off the clock I'm usually chipping away at a gaming backlog I'll never finish, tinkering with whatever framework I've been meaning to try, or building side projects solo, start to finish, just for the fun of it.
