Brandon Aaron’s Summary

I'm a developer driven by creativity. I love beautiful code that creates beautiful experiences. Experiences like a developer working with an API or a user interacting with an application.

Mostly you'll find me playing the role of a Front-End Engineer but I've done my fair share of working with the other end as well. In either role you'll usually find me using a Mac with Textmate, Terminal, and several browsers.
