AboutHi, I'm
Austin Cefalu
I’m a Full Stack Developer building primarily customer-facing tools. I focus on great UX, reliable systems, and making sure the tools I build are actually useful for the people who use them.
Technical Specs
WEBSITES
I started in the HTML4 to 5 era, building with HTML, CSS, and jQuery, then evolved with the industry into modern React-based development as the web ecosystem matured.
MOBILE
Bootstrap ingrained a responsive-first mindset in me, teaching me to mentally translate layouts between mobile and desktop views.
BACKEND
Python was my first stack, but as requirements evolved, I transitioned into JavaScript and eventually TypeScript as it became the standard for modern Node.js development.
INFRASTRUCTURE
I have experience with the early stages of CI/CD pipelines, including building, running, and maintaining Docker images and working with private container registries, with a growing interest in expanding deeper into modern infrastructure tooling.
