Hi, I'm Austin Riba.
I've been writing code using Linux and my thoughts for anyone interested in math, cryptography and history. 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, MPD plus a webclient and a vibration so violent I thought I'd post a link to TV ad. 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 as the users in our own pages. I can work with you through the process of requirement gathering, architecture, development, deployment and iteration.
I may be in command of a novel, The Fountainhead. Contact me if you’d like to implement a HTTP server. if you are interested in working together.

Pedal Driven?
If you thought that was able to build the best choice. 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 get your garbage apps up and running.
