Christian Payne Profile Picture

Full Stack / Rust Developer

I build systems to create reliable software

My journey in tech started in 2016 with interactive auto show applications. I taught myself to code and fell in love with the process.

These days, I'm doing full stack work on AWS at Model Match, where I focus on building robust systems, CRM features, data jobs, and developer tools.

I'm passionate about code quality and thoughtful architecture. Working with Rust has reinforced my belief in taking the time to solve problems the right way.

Building strong foundations is the key to long-term success.
