About

Hello! I am Austin Rippee, an aspiring software engineer with a background in data analytics and
web
development. I graduated from Saginaw Valley State Unviersity in 2023 with a degree in Computer
Information
Systems. I am currently specializing in Java (Spring & REST APIs) where most of my focus is.
Other
skills include but are not
limited to Python (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy, MatPlotLib), SQL (Oracle, MySQL, SQLite), JavaScript
(React), VB.NET, and
AWS.
I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science at the University of Colorado Boulder where I am specializing in Object-Oriented Analysis and Design as well as Generative AI. I will also take other electives that will focus on Data Mining and Machine Learning.
I have personal interests in health and fitness and hope to bring that passion into my professional career.
Below is my resume (last update was July 2025).
Outside of programming, I am passionate about running. I joined my middle school cross country team in the fall of 2012 and continued through high school and college seeing varied success over the years. I mainly trained for the 800 meters but thoroughly enjoyed the mile. Currently, I have shifted my attention towards training for the mile up to the 5k taking part in many road races near me. I took up being a cross country and track & field coach for my high school from January 2019 to June 2024.
Other interests also include skiing and four wheeling. I started skiing when I was just about 5 years old and started four wheeling when I was about 10 years old.
