> Software Engineer | Browser Extensions, Web Systems, Frontend

Location: Belmont, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/austincoleman

I build browser extensions for web platforms where client-side behavior must be predictable and reliable under strict security and policy constraints. My work focuses on extension architecture and browser-based systems, including background processes, storage, and messaging between extension contexts using JavaScript and modern web frameworks.

I design and deliver client features that support core product workflows and secure handling of sensitive data in the browser. I’m known for debugging difficult browser behavior, strengthening weak points in existing systems, and turning complex or unreliable client-side logic into dependable production software.

I build and evolve browser-side systems for established products, delivering new client features while preserving correctness and predictability in security-sensitive client environments.
