Austin Welsh — I build the engineering layer between creative vision and digital experience. High-polish systems for entertainment, culture, and interactive products.
Disney · Star Wars · National Geographic · Creative Technology
Seven years building the technical systems that power entertainment, culture, and storytelling at scale — most recently at Disney's Yellow Shoes internal agency, leading creative engineering across Parks and Experiences.
The interesting work isn't the tech stack. It's how engineering enables creative vision to ship. The system should disappear. Only the experience remains.
Systems built for entertainment, culture, and experience — internal tools, real-time platforms, and infrastructure that runs at production scale.
