Hi, I'm Austin Ewell — a Software Engineer with 5+ years of professional experience building and owning production web applications used by thousands of daily users, backed by 8+ years of hands-on development overall, dating back to my early freelance work. I specialize in modern frontend architecture, working primarily in TypeScript, Vue, and Nuxt (v2–v4), with additional experience in React and Node.js.

At StarkSys, I lead development and ongoing ownership of 4+ SaaS applications, played a role in developing many additional web applications and high-traffic websites, including an internal platform used by 300+ employees daily that increased tracked employee activity by 60%. I've established the team's frontend architecture standards and code review practices, and I build accessible, WCAG/ARIA compliant interfaces integrated with RESTful APIs and CI/CD pipelines using Git, Docker, and Kubernetes.

Before StarkSys, I spent three years as an independent contractor, delivering full-stack web applications for small businesses end-to-end, from requirements gathering through deployment and ongoing support.

Outside of client work, I built and shipped AuEwellify Planning Poker, a real-time estimation tool using Nuxt 3, TypeScript, Express, and Socket.IO, adopted by my engineering team for Agile estimation after a critical third-party tool expired. I've also open-sourced an ESLint automation CLI for Nuxt projects that cut project setup time by over 50%.
