Austin Pickett
Worked on the Hermes Agent repository to deliver 27 features and resolve 29 bugs over three months, focusing on scalable deployment, user experience, and maintainability. Developed a serverless ASGI application using FastAPI for streaming responses and progress reporting, and redesigned the landing page to align with updated UI/UX standards. Enhanced the dashboard with React Router, expanded the component library, and implemented internationalization groundwork for localization support. Improved model provider management and onboarding workflows, while addressing security, session persistence, and analytics reliability. Utilized Python, TypeScript, and React, demonstrating strengths in backend development, frontend architecture, and cross-platform user interface engineering.

13 Commits • 4 Features
May 1, 2026May 2026: Hermes Agent delivered user-facing features for dashboard UI and model provider management, plus a solid set of bug fixes improving UX, reliability, and operational hygiene. Key features include a Dashboard Plugins Sidebar Toggle, and Model Picker improvements: showing all providers with inline API key setup and inline disconnect via 'd' keybind. Major bug fixes addressed UI clarity in model picker, provider ordering and digit shortcuts, Kanban button reliability, pluralization corrections, Nix lockfile alignment, session persistence in the TUI, and analytics token stability with pricing updates. These changes deliver a smoother onboarding experience for new users, safer provider management, and more predictable pricing and token behavior. Technologies demonstrated include TUI development, inline API key handling, keyboard accessibility, slash commands, lockfile hygiene, and cross-team code-review responsiveness.
