Introduction
Hello, I am Austin Howard
An Innovation Pioneer, Optimization Virtuoso, and Software Engineer
I'm a results-driven Software Engineer and full-stack developer with a passion for building scalable, high-performance applications. As the founder and lead developer of ShepherdCMS, I design tools that help churches manage volunteer coordination, digital check-ins, and data-driven insights. I specialize in cloud architecture, API design, and end-to-end system development — delivering user-focused solutions that are both functional and impactful. Through Wulf Developments, I continue to build software that solves real problems with clean, maintainable code and thoughtful design.
About Me
From Passion to Profession:
My Software Development Journey
My journey into software development started long before I ever wrote a line of production code. As a kid, I was drawn to how things worked — taking apart electronics, scripting in games, and automating anything I could. That curiosity turned into a serious pursuit as I dove into self-study and eventually earned my degree in Computer Science.
I’ve worked on a wide range of projects, from leading the rebuild of a live-streaming platform at Truthcasting to founding ShepherdCMS — a church management system built to empower ministries with digital tools for check-in, volunteer coordination, and engagement tracking.
I believe good software solves real problems. Through Wulf Developments, I continue to build applications that make life easier, not harder — systems that are fast, reliable, and maintainable. But I’m not just building code — I’m building a future where technology uplifts purpose-driven communities.
Looking ahead, I want to join a team that values innovation, autonomy, and impact — where I can contribute meaningfully and grow alongside others who are passionate about what they build.
