Architecting & Deploying Cutting-Edge AI Solutions with Next.js & Python
Passionate about building polished, accessible, and user-centric web experiences from the ground up.
Hey! I'm Austin, CTO at Context Pro AI and a Full Stack Engineer based in Fresno, CA. I specialize in architecting, building, and deploying cutting-edge AI solutions. My passion lies in transforming complex data into actionable insights and creating intelligent applications that solve real-world problems.
I leverage AI not only in the products I build but also deeply within my development workflow to enhance efficiency, precision, and innovation. With a background transition from truck driving to tech leadership, I bring a unique perspective focused on perseverance, continuous learning, and practical application.
My core commitment is to build polished, user-friendly, and highly accessible web applications from the ground up, primarily using Next.js (TypeScript/Tailwind) for the frontend and Python for robust backend services and AI integration.
- AI-Driven Innovation: Constantly exploring and implementing state-of-the-art AI techniques to push boundaries.
- Accessibility First: Building inclusive digital experiences is non-negotiable, inspired by my personal connection.
- Pragmatic Engineering (KISS): Architecting clean, simple, and effective solutions that are maintainable and scalable.
- Lifelong Learning: Actively pursuing my CS degree and staying ahead of the curve in AI and web development.
- Faith & Family: My Christian faith and role as a father guide my integrity, work ethic, and collaborative spirit.
April 2024 - Present
As CTO & Lead Software Engineer, I architect and lead the development of Context Pro AI, an innovative platform using AI to revolutionize sports betting analysis. We process diverse unstructured data (interviews, news, social media) to extract unique, actionable insights.
Key AI & Technical Contributions:
- π§ Architected & Implemented Core AI Pipeline: Designed and built the system integrating OpenAI API for advanced NLP tasks, extracting key insights, sentiment, and context from vast amounts of text and audio data.
- π» Full-Stack Development: Led the creation of the platform using Next.js 15 (TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, shadcn/ui) for a dynamic frontend and Python for backend services, data processing, and AI model interaction.
- π οΈ AI-Enhanced Workflow: Utilize AI tools (like Cursor AI) to accelerate development, improve code quality, and streamline testing processes.
- βοΈ Infrastructure & Deployment: Engineered backend infrastructure on Linode (Ubuntu) and managed PostgreSQL database (Drizzle ORM, Vercel Neon), deploying seamlessly via Vercel.
- π Security & Scalability: Implemented secure authentication (JWT, bcrypt, NextAuth.js) and payment processing (Stripe), ensuring a robust and scalable architecture.
This role embodies my passion for applying cutting-edge AI to create tangible value and sophisticated, user-friendly applications.
