Hi there! š
My name is Austin. Iām a self-taught Python developer who enjoys building backend systems, automations, and tools that make work easier.
Most of my work revolves around Python, APIs, webhooks, system integrations, and workflow automation. I particularly enjoy taking repetitive or disorganized processes and turning them into systems that are easier to manage, understand, and scale.
My Experiences š¼
Before moving into full-time remote development, I worked as a freelancer under the name Austin_js. I served more than 100 clients, maintained a perfect five-star rating, and became a Level 2 Seller on Fiverr.
Many of my earlier projects involved Python and Web3 automation. Working directly with clients taught me much more than programming - it taught me how to understand requirements, troubleshoot unexpected problems, communicate clearly, and take responsibility for the systems I built.
I later transitioned into remote Python and backend development, where I gained experience working with development teams and existing production systems. My work has included Flask applications, APIs, webhooks, background processes, internal tools, alerts, workflow improvements, and AI-assisted development.
Today, I am especially interested in building automation systems that connect different tools, reduce repetitive work, and help teams operate more efficiently.
My Story š
My path into software development was not traditional. I did not graduate with a computer science degree, but I have been interested in computers, scripting, and building things since I was young.
During the pandemic, I began learning MQL4 and MQL5 to create automated trading tools with friends. That experience introduced me to programming and showed me how software could turn an idea or manual process into something that worked automatically.
I eventually moved from trading tools into Python and Ethereum development, which led to my freelance career. Over time, I expanded into backend development, web applications, APIs, business automation, and AI-powered workflows.
I continue learning by building real projects, working with unfamiliar systems, and solving practical problems. I use tools such as Claude Code and Codex to develop faster, but I still believe that developers need to understand, review, debug, and take responsibility for the code they produce.
I may have entered the industry through an unconventional route, but it gave me something valuable: experience building real systems for real people.
