“Austin was a fantastic teammate to work with, even during a time when the company was going through constant structural changes. He remained incredibly patient and consistent, and always delivered high-quality design work no matter the circumstances at the time. His designs were always visually impressive and thoughtfully constructed for seamless handoff to the engineering team. I always found them to be easy to implement, and if we had any questions, Austin was quick to respond and even happy to collaborate. He was genuinely well liked by the entire engineering team, and his contributions never went unnoticed. He earned a company award in his second year, which was more than well deserved. Austin is the perfect combination of professionalism, skill, support, and kindness, and any team would be lucky to have him.”

Writing + Poetry | HUGO Static Site Build
I used to utilize HUGO and Jekyll in tandem to create a professional blog website for a prior company (see https://blog.catsone.com) and wanted to start a test site for my own writing.

Where to for a brew? 🍻 | HTML CSS JS + Prompt Engineering
-
This was another vibe-code / prompt engineering build. I tweaked the HTML / CSS / JS myself, but used ChatGPT to help build a base layer and support with the JS.
Idea: My friends and I struggle to pick a brewery to go to. So we left it up to chance! While there were pre-determined parameters (static array of certain breweries in our area), this was a fun dice-roll type concept. -
Valentines Day Invite 💌 | HTML CSS JS + Prompt Engineering

I had a special someone in mind to send a humorous valentine to, so with the help my HTML + CSS and a little ChatGPT.. voila! (I got the date btw)
Built out the basic concept in maybe an hour of time! Prompt engineering took a bit of time -
1:1 Check-in tool | HTML CSS JS + Prompt Engineering

At work, we used a tool for a while that helped keep track of our current state. It gave us input areas, questions to think about before our next 1:1, etc. But one day... our company decided to ditch the software I had gotten so used to.
So lo and behold, I built my own way to keep regular track of how I was feeling. Complete with the same thought-provoking questions, some sliders, and areas for free-text input -- I was ready for every 1:1 after that and shared with co-workers that also…At work, we used a tool for a while that helped keep track of our current state.
