Austin Paquette

Principal frontend and product engineer

I am a Calgary-based engineer building product interfaces, design systems, developer tools, and applied AI workflows for teams that need complex software to feel clear.

I am obsessed with beautiful web experiences: fast interaction, careful craft, durable architecture, and automation people can trust.

Principal Software Engineer is the highlighted role level.

Selected work

Forcir / Solum

Product platform

Shaped discovery, domain models, admin workflows, and typed API boundaries so teams could turn ambiguous product work into usable software.

Forcir

Data and validation systems

Built importer and sync workflows with review queues, audit trails, and LLM-assisted checks where automation needed accountability.

Nissan USA

AEM template system

Created a lightweight template system inside Adobe Experience Manager for high-visibility campaign pages.

Approach

  • 01Interfaces should feel fast enough to respect people's time.
  • 02Design systems are product infrastructure, not decoration.
  • 03The best work happens where interface quality and systems architecture meet.
  • 04AI works best when the workflow is as carefully designed as the model call.
