Hi, I'm Austin Scott!
Full-stack web developer and Managing Director of The Focus Theater, based in Rochester, NY.
Most recently, I spent five years with the Tampa Bay Times as a senior developer working on a legacy React codebase, managing releases, and implementing 3rd-party integrations.
I'm seeking remote or local-hybrid Senior or Staff web engineering roles where I can keep growing— ideally on modern React/Vue + TypeScript stacks (Next.js, Nuxt, TanStack).
Lately, I've been pushing into the world of agentic development and realizing what a force multiplier AI driven development can be in the hands of a high-level developer with strong product knowledge, stable workflows, and creative imagination.
Hire a senior front-end engineer who ships with taste and reliability
I build accessible, performant UIs with React/TypeScript and Nuxt/Vue. I’ve owned production features end-to-end (auth, paywall, design systems, analytics) at a major newsroom, and I collaborate tightly with design and product while mentoring devs without slowing velocity.

- Auth0/OAuth · Analytics · SEO · SSR/SSG · Traditional/Headless CMS
