About Evan

I build from a place I know.

I am an elite cyclist, electrical engineer, full-stack product builder, and the person behind EBaus Cycling LLC. The common thread is learning a system deeply enough to make something genuinely useful for it.

The throughline

The sport came first. The software followed the problems.

I have been racing bikes at the elite and professional level since 2014. It is still my favorite way to spend time. It also means I notice the unglamorous parts of endurance sports: training plans that do not reach the athlete's calendar, results trapped in old files, and promoters doing critical work through brittle spreadsheets.

I started building tools for those problems because I wanted them to exist. Texas Cycling Stats proved that useful public data could earn an audience. TrainingDojo proved that I could turn a narrow product insight into recurring revenue. RaceDojo and CritHub are the next expressions of that same conviction.

I am still a working software developer. That matters to me. I like understanding a system, making a real thing, putting it in front of people, and being responsible for what happens next.

Experience

Cycling, engineering, and product work are not separate stories.

  1. 2014

    Started racing at the elite and professional level

    Years inside cycling created a working knowledge of the athletes, promoters, events, data, and small operational failures that shape the sport.

  2. 2021

    Electrical Engineering at UT Austin

    An engineering foundation spanning software, systems thinking, and the physical devices software has to serve.

  3. 2021—now

    Full-stack and systems work at ProtoLink

    Custom product software for medical-device and industrial applications, working inside complex existing systems as well as building from the ground up.

  4. Now

    Products, users, and EBaus Cycling LLC

    Personal cycling tools grew into public data platforms and commercially validated software. The LLC now holds that product work and selected client engagements.

ProtoLink

Serious software beyond the cycling world.

Since 2021, I have worked at ProtoLink on custom software for microprocessor-based devices and electromechanical machines. My work is generally full stack and includes product applications for medical-device and industrial environments.

That experience has made me comfortable entering complicated systems, learning quickly, improving existing products, and building new ones with the consequences in view.

ProtoLink is my employer. Its customers are not presented here as clients of EBaus Cycling LLC.

Limited engagements

If this way of working fits the problem, let’s talk.

Tell me what is not working, who feels it, and what a useful outcome would change. I read every note myself.
