Russell Todd
Austin is always looking for ways to make things better, from re-engineering existing technology solutions to developing new tools, systems, and processes to improve the services we provided to the organization. He directed several major initiatives at Mount Vernon, not the least of which was designing the network architecture for the new Upper School building. Austin implemented new software platforms to improve capabilities and efficiencies within the technology department, and also developed some small software solutions for internal use. Austin is a learner. During his tenure at Mount Vernon Austin took the initiative to learn the necessary skills to do all the above - network design and management, system and database administration, software development, and more. Lastly, Austin is very detail-oriented and does an excellent job documenting his work. You can depend on the work he does to be thorough, complete, well-documented, and functional.
