Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAustin Hansen is a full-stack software developer with over 10 years of experience building production web applications, specializing in Ruby on Rails and modernizing legacy systems. For five years at Sol Systems he led architecture across a portfolio of interconnected Rails apps powering SREC trading, financial operations, and customer workflows, shipping greenfield Rails 8 apps and an AG Grid Rails engine adopted organization-wide. He’s pragmatic about performance and reliability—optimizing large-reporting pipelines, eliminating N+1 queries, adding Redis caching, and introducing CI and testing standards. Comfortable across the stack, he’s implemented SPA-like UX with Turbo+Stimulus, integrated DocuSign and Routable APIs, and automated multi-state compliance for complex business processes. Based in Victoria, BC, he combines a scientific, data-driven background (B.Sc. in Biochemistry) with a history of independent contracting and product-minded side projects that surface in practical, reusable engineering patterns.
