August “Aug” Casso

High-leverage web engineering, automated operations, and unapologetic ground reality.

I engineer resilient digital infrastructure and automated ai and web solutions by day, and organize/produce online content, mutual aid and unhoused advocacy in Denver by night.

An acting major in college who pivoted into systems engineering years later out of pure grit and real-world necessity, I also share reflections on creative roots, self-taught tech, and frontline advocacy across a 1.2M+ view creator catalog (@august.casso). No corporate fluff. Just systems and truth.

Booru Bulk Downloader

A Tampermonkey userscript that puts batch download controls directly on booru galleries — a checkbox and one-click original on every thumbnail, filenames built from the searched tags, ZIP export, and a retry queue. Written because scraping a gallery one post at a time is a waste of an evening. Obvious adult content warning.
