Austin Meyer
Welcome! I'm a software engineer by day, drummer/YouTuber/writer/board-game-player by night. Let's make something cool together :)
About Me
I like to work on tough problems with smart people. I've built software from the ground up on tiny teams; I've taken big distributed systems and made them bulletproof (for example, the software failure alerting system for all of Target). As long as I'm learning and growing in the process, I'm happy to tackle any challenge.
AI pair programming is revolutionary. I can already see that those who use it thoughtfully will be light-years ahead of those who don't. So I'm bullish on using it to augment my capabilities to the max potential.
I'm looking for a place I can really dig into. I want to join a team that values me as a coworker and fellow human; a team that I can meaningfully contribute to and stay with for the long-term.
Also if anyone at work wants to bring over a guitar and have a heavy metal jam at any point, I'm always down 😁
What I Do
Distributed Systems
I love working on complex problems. Bring on the concurrency and worldwide systems.
Constant Learning
The willingness to harness the best tools is a huge competitive advantage. I'm an advocate for responsible AI pair programming.
Go
I love Go. It's so fun 😄 But also I'm excited to learn whatever languages and tools are the best fit for the job at hand.
Foster Empathy
When we all do better, we all do better. I'm here to be more than an individual contributor; I'm here to be part of a team.
