Christian Payne Profile Picture

Full Stack / Rust Developer

My journey in tech started in 2016 with interactive auto show applications, and I've been a self starter ever since. 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 that make everyone's job easier.

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 with type safety and performance in mind is key to long-term success.
