Hi. My name is Aaron.
I have been practicing web development since 1998 and have worked on projects ranging from single-page, static websites like personal resume sites, to full-blown web applications, like conference registration websites with a back-end administration portal and payment processing.
My style is minimal: if you don’t need it, I don’t do it. My approach is open: if you have an idea and want to do it, I do it (although I might try to persuade you not to do it if I think it isn’t the best thing for you or your project). My work is modern: I adhere to the latest standards and practices to deliver the most solid, cutting-edge, easy-to-use product possible.
I was born a few miles outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, moved to Waianae, Hawaii just after the seventh grade, to San Francisco, California when I turned 21, spent four years just outside of Washington, DC, a little over six years in New York, New York, and, since December 2011, my wife and I have been living in Hohenecken in Kaiserslautern, Germany.
While still looking for full-time work in Germany, I’m doing freelance work and also co-direct the non-profit UX Test Kitchen, providing award-winning agency-level services to other non-profits from around the world, for free. Yes, free.
Enjoy, and let me know if you have any thoughts or questions,
