My name is Austin Walker. I'm a Technical Product Manager who bridges the gap between clinical complexity and shipping code.
Austin Walker
Great telehealth products aren't just about features—they're about reducing anxiety.
I build systems that empower doctors to provide care, admins to understand operations, and patients to feel cared for—by turning compliance from a blocker into a competitive advantage.
Recent Work
The market needed a telehealth platform that didn't just "work" technically, but worked legally across 48 distinct jurisdictions.
Instead of building a generic e-commerce flow, I designed a "compliance-first" architecture. We treated state regulations not as edge cases, but as the core data model.The Outcome: Launched Aug 4, 2025. 499 medications. Zero routing errors. $12k+ first-month revenue.
Teligant Platform
Designed a 3-tier Order Hierarchy system to handle the complexity of recurring prescriptions, one-off lab kits, and membership benefits in a single checkout. Built a 'Pharmacy Bridge' workflow to stop doctors from misrouting prescriptions.
Hedfirst Launch
Launched August 4th, 2025. Proof that compliance can be a competitive advantage. We launched in 48 states on Day 1 because we treated regulations as a core data model, not an afterthought.
Previous Experience
Three years in telehealth building compliant platforms for prescription-based healthcare services. Started as a full-stack engineer, evolved into technical product management by solving real implementation problems and learning what actually ships.
Solutions Engineer → Technical Product Lead
CompoundLive
Enterprise clients loved the demo but feared the integration. The friction wasn't the software; it was the implementation anxiety. I productized the onboarding process, creating reusable integration frameworks that turned a bespoke engineering project into a repeatable configuration task. We didn't just ship faster; we changed the sales conversation from 'Can we afford this delay?' to 'When can we start?'
Full Stack Developer
Rugiet Health
Churn wasn't happening because users disliked the product. It was happening because they felt trapped. The rigid subscription model created anxiety. I championed a 'Pause' feature—technically simple, but business-critical. Stakeholders feared it would lower revenue, but retention increased by 35%. By giving users control, we gained their trust. It proved that in healthcare, autonomy is a key feature.
Lead Instructor
LEARN Academy
Trained 170+ developers across 9 cohorts in full-stack development. Designed curriculum based on industry feedback, iterated based on student outcomes, and achieved 85% placement rate within 6 months. Teaching taught me to break down complex technical concepts—a skill I now use daily to bridge gaps between clinical stakeholders, engineers, and business leaders. Nothing tests your technical depth like explaining recursion to 30 people staring at you, or debugging someone else's code in real-time. Those skills directly translate to writing specs developers can implement and explaining technical tradeoffs to non-technical executives.
