About

This is the blog of John Austin, a game developer living in Seattle, WA.

I founded Pontoco, and lead projects there day to day. Most recently that was The Last Clockwinder. Before that I led XR engineering at Funomena, and before that I did research at Google Machine Intelligence on Google Lens.

I tend to blog about technical topics, with a splash of design.

You can reach out to me via my contact page, or follow me on BlueSky, Mastodon, and Twitter. You can follow my blog via Email or RSS.
