About
Who I Am
I'm Aaron — a frontend developer based in Arizona. After a year of self-teaching, I attended Coding Dojo bootcamp to sharpen my skills and break into the industry. From there, I worked as a full-stack consultant on projects ranging from state fairs to construction management platforms. Along the way, I became the go-to person for anything frontend.
Today, I specialize in building websites that look sharp, feel smooth, and work the way they should. I’ve helped businesses improve their online presence, including building a portfolio site and coffee shop platform for a YouTuber client, and working with small businesses to help them grow.
When I’m not coding, you’ll usually find me working with my hands — building furniture, tackling woodworking projects, or learning something new. Building — whether digital or physical — is just part of who I am.
How I Got Here
Before I was a developer, I spent five years in the Army. That experience taught me how to work under pressure, solve problems quickly, and build things that last. After leaving the service, I found the same satisfaction in building with wood — and later, with code.
I taught myself web development when I needed a site for a woodworking side project. What started as a simple need turned into a full-time passion. I honed my skills at Coding Dojo to get some sort of certification under my belt. Then I got my first job as a consultant on real-world projects for businesses that had real problems that needed solved, and eventually launched my freelance career — helping businesses bring their ideas online with clean, reliable websites.
- Woodworking sharpened my eye for detail and design.
- The Army gave me a bias for action and quality.
- Web development ties it all together — structure, creativity, and building for people.
