Hello, I'm Austin!
I love helping teams do their best work, supporting people who make things, and working to unlock the promise of the web in modern times.
I currently work at Fastly, focusing on our developer experience, developer support, and how to bring the best of Fastly and Glitch's tools to as many people as possible who can benefit from their functionality.
I built this blog by Remixing the Glitch Eleventy starter, I write and edit within Glitch's amazing editor, and then distribute the final product via Fastly's edge tools including their global network, instant TLS provisioning, and DDoS protection. The whole setup took me a short afternoon, and can scale up alongside the largest events in the history of the internet.
