"The future of industry is through a symbiotic relationship of people and AI."

Austin Copps

A little about me...

I'm a recent graduate from Texas Tech University, where I earned a concentrated degree in Strategic Entrepreneurship. Growing up in the family of a tech entrepreneur, I was immersed in emerging technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) applications from an early age. This exposure fueled my passion for the digital transformation of companies and the evolving role of automation through AI in vital industrial processes.

In my early work experience, I gained valuable knowledge working with startup companies that use emerging technologies to create better process automation. In one company, I trained AI models for live digital twins that identify important variations in operations that might lead to disruptions. In another, I used a low-code platform to automate workflows and collaboration.

Recently, I have conducted extensive research on the industry 4.0 and its connection to big data in the realm of automation. I am eager to join a dynamic team focused on digital transformation where I can contribute what I have learned to help build next-generation process automation. As I embark on my professional journey, I am seeking a position that aligns with my passion and skills, and allows me to make a meaningful impact in the field of industrial automation, change management, and digital transformation.

My superpower is finding the root cause of any problem. I do this by asking "why" over and over until I truly understand what's going on underneath. This helps me create lasting solutions as opposed to the bandaid solutions seen in most large companies.
