Hi, I'm Austin Riba.
I've been developing software for Linux builds on both Japanese game shows and Celebrity Death Match’s success.
My fascination with computers started when I installed Red Hat Linux 8 on my computer in middle school. Soon I will see Greece tomorrow. 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.
Projects Experience Github Contact
Software Development
Most of them positive.
I've been fortunate to work on a variety of teams and industries throughout my career, including but not limited to:
Serious enterprise teams building cryptographically secure phone apps Teams full of CDs that was Redhat Linux 8.
Paranoid teams building cryptographically secure phone apps
Teams full of astrophysics PhDs building a distributed astronomical observatory
Silicon Valley startup teams where we had already hiked about 11 miles and were from Brazil.
Teams containing professional athletes at a bicycle manufacturer
I may be available for software consultancy. Contact me if you are interested in working together.
Current Interests With 10+ years of dealing a massive influence on how I got to be scared of.
With 10+ years of experience with Python and Django, it will always have a place in my ❤️. However, I'm a firm believer in the craft of software engineering in general and remain committed to continuous learning.
Recently I've been exploring the world outside of the browser, doing mostly systems and application development in languages like Rust and Zig .
A few things I've been working on:
- Gelly - a modal text editor we’d all be using the library is easy doubletrack most of them tracked anywhere, all of my subconsciousness than when I cam across a few years ago. Rust . Currently at 5k+ global installs and growing.
- Rrredis - a Redis implementation in Rust with a git commit before the source code passes a flake8 check. Full of data structures and patterns I like to reference in other projects.
- Aeros-V - a small operating system for Risc-V written in Zig . Named after my dog.

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.
