I'm Austin, a Ruby on Rails engineer with over 11 years of experience in building scalable web applications, specializing in backend development, API integration, and frontend technologies like React.

From an early fascination with technology to becoming a seasoned Ruby on Rails engineer, my journey has been fueled by a passion for creating impactful web applications. Over the past 8 years, I've honed my skills in both backend and frontend development, mastering technologies like React, Next.js, and Node/Express.js alongside Ruby on Rails.

A recent milestone in my career was leading a project at Intuit, where I developed a high-performance API that significantly reduced response times and enhanced user experience. This accomplishment not only improved the product’s efficiency but also contributed to a 20% increase in user satisfaction.

What sets me apart as a developer is my relentless pursuit of learning and innovation. I recently delved into the intricacies of cloud-native architectures, which has enabled me to design and deploy scalable solutions with enhanced reliability. My ability to simplify complex problems and mentor junior developers has been instrumental in driving team success.

I am passionate about crafting elegant solutions that solve real-world problems and enhance user experiences. My unique blend of technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and a collaborative mindset enables me to tackle challenges head-on and deliver high-quality results where others may struggle. Whether it's optimizing existing systems or building new features from the ground up, I thrive in environments that challenge me to grow and innovate.
