“I am in search of nothing but an unfair advantage. To exploit the design or intention of a physical system which renders the impossible to be possible, if only for a moment, the right moment.” - Mark Donohue The Unfair Advantage

About

My name is Brian Austin and I’m a software engineer, architect and technologist building products and services in .NET on Azure.

I am a supporter of Open Source Software and Internet Archival

Six years managing remote teams

I focus on three content areas:

• Personal Productivity
  • How to work effectively in a professional environment
  • Memory hacks and note taking systems
  • Recommended technical resources and content channels
• Remote Work
  • How to lead a distributed development workforce
  • Working with non-US based contractors
  • Team culture in a remote environment
• Technology Experiments
  • Rapid prototyping with AI
  • Emerging technology and tools
  • Celebrating the joy of creation with code

I also write a very occasional free newsletter Brain Notes where I post AI prompts and research that I find insightful.
