Hey there! I'm Austin Hoag

I'm currently a Vanderbilt student, where I'm double majoring in Educational Studies and Computer Science. The oddest of pairings, right? Its origin stems from my desire to create intuitive, user-friendly software for schools and educators. Aside from my computer science interest, I enjoy watching Netflix and Apple TV+, running, hiking and backpacking.
