# About Me

Hi!

I'm Austin Jones.  I'm a software engineer based in Boston, MA.  I started this blog to announce some Rust projects, and write some posts about developing high performance message-based applications.

I'm the author of:
- [tab](https://crates.io/crates/tab), an intuitive, config-driven terminal multiplexer.
- [lifeline-rs](https://crates.io/crates/lifeline), a dependency injection library for async-io message-based applications.  
- [dali-rs](https://crates.io/crates/dali), a GPU rendering library for fast digital painting.

I’m also a Generative Artist (see my [portfolio](https://austinjones.onfabrik.com/portfolio/texture-from-nothing)). I use Rust and GPUs to generate intricate images for canvas prints.

I like working for startups, building reliable TDD REST services, and pushing forward CI/CD.  I also have several years of systems engineering experience, deploying Dockerized applications on AWS EC2, and ALB/ECS.
