About Austen Strine

I’m competent, innovative, passionate, principled, and very team-oriented. I’m the guy who helps the struggling junior developer take his sprint goal across the finish line. I’m a traditional Christian, husband, father, provider, and conservative, in that order. I’m fully committed and invested in everything I do. Proven capability of being productive and keeping communication open while working remotely. Startup experience.

Unusually high levels of initiative. Extremely capable of working with difficult, deprecated, and disparate systems (I sanctify hellish code). Skilled at optimization. Highly skilled at adapting to meet the needs of the team. Proven capability to make emergency stopgap solutions. Pretty good diagnosis and troubleshooting skills. Extensive experience and fluency with both front- and back-end development.
