About

Hi, I’m Aaron. I’m an expert in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I’m very familiar with the transpiled languages SCSS and ES6, and while they are nice and contain some future forward notions I’ve recently become a strong advocate for a strict web-native approach to building web apps. I’m well versed in a variety of SQL flavors, and if anyone here has worked with multiple SQL platforms I’m certain that won’t come as a surprise. I’m currently a fan of Google Firebase as a web stack, it lets web devs do everything they need to without deviating from the native HTML/CSS/JS stack, including database management. Paired with Google Admin Suite, it’s a great way to run a web site while also providing businesses authenticated, role based services like VOIP and email on custom domains. As a web dev I’m entrenched in git version control – I use it every day. I’m a super user on Linux, Mac, and Windows machines, and I am familiar with each OS’s native command line of choice (Bash, Terminal, Powershell). I’m very comfortable issuing public / private key pairs to grant access to SSH secured resources. I enjoy challenging myself; I have a lot of accomplishments that I am proud of, and I tweet them out a fair bit.

I win competitions like hackathons while representing my workplace.

I make my own wooden boards for my favorite board games.

I play a wicked game of Tetris, and have won against 99 simultaneous opponents.

I play really, really hard games without ever buying upgrades.

I have most recently been hired by the Carl Vinson Institute of Government at UGA to help manage their Drupal shop, and I love these guys. Check out PSO and CVIOG, they rock!
