Testimonials

Austin is a hard working individual that excels with vague tasks. I had the oppurtunity of working with him during a summer internship in which we designed embedded software for embedded FPGAs. Not only was Austin a key contributor to the team, he was also very communicative and assisted others with the tasks at hand.

Austin was able to help me resolve an unusual issue with DNS where folks could not access DNS records from specific regions. This turned out to be a R53 misconfiguration, and Austin was able to find the issue, develop a fix, and deploy it quickly. It definitely met my satisfaction!
Jesse L. - Woven by Toyota
Austin resolved a very complex problem for me, that was handed over between other people for about 2 weeks with no solution in sight. In fact, every time Austin is involved with a problem he quickly finds a solution.
Colleague - Woven by Toyota
Austin unblocked me by helping to create AWS SSM Parameters. These were essential in getting the Wiz runtime sensors working on the EKS clusters that provide runners for GitHub EMU, SG GitHub Enterprise and SS GitHub enterprise. He was quick to jump on a call and help me out. A+++++ experience. 5/5 ***** will definitely work again with him in the future.
Gaurav J. - Woven by Toyota
Need help with AWS? Austin is your guy. He has been very knowledgeable and a tremendous help in architecting our application and applying industry best practices. I highly recommend Austin!.
Santiago G. - Viasat
Austin fixed a problem that has been a major headache for over 20 developers who regularly use reviewable. Submitting an entec ticket had gone nowhere for over a year. Austin fixed the problem in under 4 hours. With the changes made today, developers will no longer have to switch back and forth between the VPN while they are in the office, this will speed up development, prevent unneeded reboots (when remote users forget to disconnect from the VPN) and significantly improve download times when users are also in reviewable. Today Austin has dramatically improved my quality of life as a developer.
Amir K. - Woven by Toyota
Having worked with Austin for roughly 1.5 years, I can say that he is an accomplished engineer. I could always depend on him to debug and fix network issues, as well as solve any issues I experienced with Jenkins. Austin was always there to help and got tasks completed quickly and efficiently.
