Hi I’m Austin Peterson

My passion for building websites started at the young age of 8. In middle school I began creating websites professionally. In 2004 Awarded BSA Eagle Scout.

In 2015, my career took a significant turn towards app development, specifically within the React ecosystem, marking the beginning of an era where I could blend my creativity with my technical skills to produce impactful digital solutions. My tenure at companies like PolicyScout, MOJO, and Bluehost has been marked by significant achievements, including:

• Innovating with React: Developed over 100 dynamic form variations in React, improving form completion rates through meticulous A/B testing and user experience optimization. Worked closley with business stakeholders to create projects and features.
• Leading Frontend Development: Spearheaded the frontend standards committee, led product teams, and ran a monthly Frontend Meetup open to the community, fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
• Enhancing Performance: Dramatically increased application performance by identifying and resolving bottlenecks, optimizing code, and reducing API bloat, thereby delivering a smoother user experience.
