Testimonials

Aaron's technical know-how and passion for learning make him an awesome team mate for a technical project. On many occasions I went to Aaron for technical advice and ended up with amazing new ideas. He is clearly able to see above the technical specs and appriciate the big picture of features, products and business models. Aaron is an excellent communicator and shows patience and maturity beyond his years. I would be stoked to work with him again!
Andy Shirey, Entellium

Aaron is one of the most patient developers I've worked with. He's always willing to help bridge the gap between ideas and implementation, and takes the time to truly understand the requirements of a project before formulating the best plan of attack. He has a knack for getting to the heart of an issue, and works tirelessly to get the cleanest code possible. He's also incredibly laid back and fun to be around, making him a joy to work with.
Turi Henderson, Entellium

It was Aaron's confidence with code that got him the job, but his real talent lies in his ability to balance good visual design and user experience with great technical solutions. He's technical, yet he can have a normal conversation with business stakeholders. He has an eye for design, yet he champions well-written, well-documented, maintainable code. His true calling is to solve business problems using technology...and isn't that what we're all seeking?
Brendan Regan, Entellium

I've had the pleasure of working with Aaron over the last several months on a number of web service API functions here at Entellium. I'm impressed by his ability to design novel solutions to problems. Just as important, his ability to explain to the lay user how his solutions work and why he chose a specific methodology is fantastic. He's a nice guy too.
Erik Krause, Entellium

Aaron is always willing to collaborate and discuss all the options available to determine the best solution for a project. He's got years of experience and knowledge to share, and will do so whenever requested. Working with Aaron is a very rewarding experience.
Matt Michler, Autoscan

Aaron is a fun and creative coworker, always willing to take the time to stop what he's doing to lend a hand. He's a great developer, and a thoughtful manager. He'd be a great asset to any company.
Don O'Neill, Autoscan
