Austerity Nissenfeld is a senior engineer with 11 years of professional experience and a 37-year personal history with software, hardware, and networking, currently modernizing legacy .NET data ingestion systems at Equifax. Self-taught and hands-on, she combines deep C# and SQL expertise with DevOps and SRE experience across both small ecosystems and large-scale platforms. She has built social networks used by hundreds of thousands and designed complex data processing engines, bringing pragmatic solutions to transformation and security work. Comfortable across systems engineering, game-theory-informed design, and AI theory (non-ML), she thrives on high-impact legacy modernization and novel system design. Based in Missouri, she’s as likely to dive into low-level plumbing as to architect scalable application workflows, and her GitHub bio’s “I am a rabbit” hints at a playful, curious approach to problem solving.
