Awstin Chubb

Summary

Fullstack software development engineer, self-hoster, tinkerer, lifelong student. For work I build configuration automation and testing tools, from backend database interactions to frontend UI. At home I manage my own server, spend time on side projects, and study/read a wide variety of subjects. I am passionate about building, fixing, and improving tools to help people, and always strive to improve my capacity to do so through collaboration and study.
