Austin Brown is a software architect with 11 years of experience designing and delivering cloud-native, highly scalable distributed systems from Seattle. He blends hands-on full-stack development (Node.js, Rust, Python) with data-first architecture—optimizing Postgres and Cassandra at scale and building observability and SRE tooling using OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Kubernetes. As a former lead and principal engineer he has owned product roadmaps, SRE productization, and migrations to GitOps/Terraform-driven Kubernetes platforms across AWS and Azure. He’s passionate about transparent organizations and systems ownership, and uniquely combines deep data-store expertise with pragmatic microservice and messaging design (RabbitMQ). Outside the code, his background includes building high-throughput tracing pipelines and a history of operational roles that inform his architecture decisions.
