Hello 👋, I am Austin Weight. I really like building things; mainly on the web!

Part One

What I do

Well, first off thank you for visiting, welcome .

So... what to say about me... well, for me it is all about using technology to solve business problems in the most efficient manner possible.

I have worked in many different places that have different ways of dressing this up, but what it really boils down to is learning as fast as possible and iterating on these learnings with the right technology choices to back this agility up.

Work

It's all about the user experience and technology is just the enabler.

technology is just the enabler.

The projects I work on are often a mix of technologies across the stack. The goal of creating the best user experience often involves using DevOps practices for efficient development and deployment, and employing data analytics to continually learn and refine solutions. This holistic approach ensures that our solutions are not only technically sound but also and most importantly user driven.

Using data and machine learning (ML) to push ideas and iterate quickly is pivotal in driving innovation and achieving optimal outcomes. By harnessing the power of data analytics, we can uncover actionable insights and identify patterns that inform decision-making and strategy. This data-driven approach accelerates the feedback loop, enabling rapid iteration and refinement of ideas.

Part Two

Who am I

As a boy, my favorite thing in the world was Lego. I loved how I could create new worlds brick by brick and it sparked a life-long appreciation of design. Now grown-up, I have found an industry that requires the same skills.

These days I am less hands on with the code but have the no less drive for creating teams and culture that strive for the best through continued learning.

Here are some of the brands I have been lucky enough to work on...
