Welcome !

I'm Austin — a full-stack developer with a passion for building clean, scalable, and impactful software. I've spent the last several years working across both frontend and backend technologies, architecting solutions that range from streaming platforms to church management tools.

My work is grounded in functional programming principles and thoughtful design systems, and I'm constantly looking for ways to improve how people interact with technology — whether that's through better user experiences or more maintainable codebases.

I built ShepherdCMS to support ministries in managing their communities with grace and efficiency — but my journey doesn't stop there. When I'm not in the code, I'm probably planning a gritty D&D campaign, chasing my daughter around the house, or reflecting on how faith and tech intersect in meaningful ways.

This blog is my journal — a place to share wins, lessons, and honest thoughts from my life as a developer and believer. Whether you're here for the tech, the testimony, or the tales, I'm glad you stopped by.
