Hi, I'm Austin Riba.
I've been writing code for almost as long as I've been riding a bike. Over this time I've taken on the role of a generalist with experience in full stack development, devops and product management.
I installed Linux on to my home computer in 6th grade and began web development shortly thereafter. I was excited by the possibility of being able to build something and share it with the world. I still get excited about that to this day.
Software Development
I'm happy to jump into existing projects and I excel at starting products from scratch. Taking an idea and turning it into a tangible product is one of my favorite aspects of development. I can work with you through the process of requirement gathering, architecture, development, deployment and iteration.
I may be available for software consultancy. Contact me if you are interested in working together.
Skills
The technologies I work with the most, ordered from most to least familiarity:
Languages: Python, Javascript, Java, shell, Go.
Backend: Django (+ DRF and Ninja), Flask, FastAPI, Ruby on Rails.
Fontend: Vue.js, HTMX, QT, jQuery, Angular.
Devops: Docker, AWS, Heroku.
Project Management: Trello, Pivotal, Atlassian.
Other: Linux, PostGIS, Ionic.
I also have experience with software and tools specific to Astronomy including AstroPy, JS9, Astrometry.net, .fits files, etc.

Pedal Driven?
If you meet me in person, chances are I'll be wearing a pair of bike shoes with my laptop on my back. Not only is cycling one of my biggest hobbies, I believe in the bike's enormous potential to transform our lives through positive impacts on the environment, economics, social interaction, city planning and personal health. I write about it from time to time.
