Senior full-stack engineering
Austin Garrod Senior Full Stack Developer
Building maintainable product software across React and Next.js interfaces, Node.js APIs, and data systems.
Senior full-stack developer in Ontario with production experience across React, Next.js, TypeScript, APIs, and databases. Earlier roles include leading web delivery, teaching programming and project management, and building applied research and civic systems. I focus on software that is typed, testable, observable, documented, and straightforward for teams to maintain.
Core tech
Production software across front-end, API, and data boundaries.
Three years teaching programming, web development, project management, and SDLC fundamentals.
Archived public web, API, and mobile work for a community banner program.
Engineering profile
Full-stack product work across interfaces, APIs, data, and delivery.
At Epilogue, my day-to-day work spans charity-partner product and data systems across React and TypeScript interfaces, Node.js and Express services, MongoDB, analytics, and scheduled AWS reporting. In a small team, I collaborate directly with leadership to turn large operational datasets into appropriately scoped tools for partners and internal teams.
Frontend engineering
React, Next.js, TypeScript, state management, accessible interfaces, and component systems that stay maintainable as product scope grows.
Backend and data
API systems with relational and document databases, background processing, live progress surfaces, rate-limited workers, and service integrations.
Native and platform work
Pragmatic native-adjacent systems across Kotlin Multiplatform, Android tooling, C#/.NET, Python, Docker, and local device integrations.
Engineering practice
Code review, CI/CD, documentation, mentoring, estimates, SDLC teaching, and AI-assisted workflows grounded in tests and visible reasoning.
Selected work
Public evidence and sanitized private case studies.
Honour Our Veterans Banner Platform
Civic web, API, and mobile apps
Archived public React, Express, and React Native applications supporting the Uxbridge Honour Our Veterans Banner Program.

- Public RSS support, portable imports and backups, and user-disableable diagnostics keep listeners in control.
Spools
Filament inventory with AMS integration
A local web app for tracking 3D printer filament inventory with Bambu Lab AMS data sync over local MQTT.
- Separates machine-synced AMS state from manually corrected inventory data.
- Local dashboard surfaces loaded trays, remaining material, and spool metadata before long prints.
