"Austin has worked with me as a placement student as part of his college course over a 3 month period, 2 days a week. He has been working on a modern SPA built with Angular 17 (typescript) and Spring Boot 3 (Java 17), working as part of a small scrum team who practise CI/CD. Worked on both FE & BE including unit (Junit/Jasmine) and API tests (Spring REST Template), starting with small bug-fixes and now integrating theming into the app from an in-house UI library (exposure to tailwind). Tooling IntelliJ, JIRA, Jenkins, BitBucket/git, SonarQube, MEND. Austin has a passion for technology and often shows me examples of, or talks about programming he has been doing in his own time."

"I hired Austin on a freelancer basis to deliver a website and SEO strategy. The results were impressive and outcomes much higher than I could have envisioned. My current website was outdated and had a lot of offsite code which was damaging my Google Lighthouse performance and impacting SEO reputation. The customer experience and call to action was poor. Austin worked through a phased improvement plan and brought lots of ideas and innovation to the process as we went along. I am not a web developer myself so Austin advised me as we went along the process and developed the brief into something much better than I could have created alone. The result was a much higher ranking website and healthier Google SEO report which will future proof the website for a while. The return on investment was very good and I will always use Austin in future as do some of my other clients who have had excellent advice and service."
