About Me


Personal Information

My name is Aaron, a 28-year-old Canadian Programmer with a passion for code and technology. With a strong foundation in core programming languages such as C++, C#, and JavaScript, I have spent the majority of my time honing my skills during my studies as well as a personal hobby. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to learn and adapt to new situations.

I have spent the last 8 years studying at the college level which has let me develop excellent time management skills and learning habits. I pride myself on my ability to pick up new programming languages and concepts quickly and efficiently. I am self-motivated and excel at my work because coding is more than just a job to me, it is a passion. From my interest in Artificial Inteligence and learning how neuroscience applies to our understanding of how a sythetic mind could be created, to my love of video games and the technology that goes into creating something that can be enjoyed by millions of people.

I am always looking to learn more and expand my knowledge of programming and technology as a whole. My main focus is on full stack web development and I am currently working on various projects using React, Redux, SASS, Node.js, Express.js, Passport.js, JWT, and MongoDB. I am also focusing on the software production lifecycle and the Agile Development Methodology.
