Hi there, my name's Aidan and I'd love to be your friendly Texan mentor!
I've been creating web apps since 2014 and am excited about the boundless possibilities of programming, which is why I thoroughly enjoy sharing what knowledge I have with others.
I've primarily worked at small companies, so I have significant experience with teaching myself how to solve many software problems and have cultivated an appreciation for what was challenging during my learning process. On the other hand, I've had some great mentors who have shown me by example what effective teaching looks like.
In short, I have a deep appreciation for the craft of software development and would love to work together to write great code!

FREE THE WORK is a non-profit organization committed to making equity actionable in media and to creating opportunities for a global workforce of underrepresented creators behind the lens in TV, film, and marketing. During my time there I:
- Led development on a talent search platform for discovering underrepresented creators, built using a combination of React, Node and Firebase
- Managed contractors across the world, facilitating communication and code review as well as aiding with development and planning of tasks.
- Worked with the tech team to plan migration from Firestore to PostgresQL, including ways to flexibly address technical debt along the way.

As a consultant at Jayway, I worked on a 3D planner for visualizing combinations of furniture for the home. The project's focus was on storage solutions, so each combination involved a set of frames that could be customized with different doors, handles, and legs. My biggest accomplishment at Jayway was working with a small team to add a brand new range of products to the planner. The UI was written in React and Redux was used for tracking selected products and their position in our 3D canvas.
Additionally, I gave a talk on Redux Sagas for one of our internal knowledge-sharing days!
