About me

Hi đź‘‹ I'm Austin, I bring over 14 years of experience in sales and sales ops, with a proven track record of driving revenue growth, and optimizing CRM workflows and data insights. As a software engineer, I leverage my analytical skills and business acumen to build effective solutions. Some technologies I'm using are Ruby on Rails, RSpec, PostgreSQL, and SQL.

Outside of work, I try to explore the outdoors on a mountain bike or pair of skis, but I'm usually on foot with my dog trying to identify bird species.
