Hi! I’m Aaron. This is my website where I collect little digital side projects.

On the personal side, my family and I live in Austin, and my faith is very important to me. While Texas is home now, I’ve got roots in Indiana.

I am a software engineer and former Marine. My LinkedIn profile has my professional info.

Code

I like working on big mobile apps, and so far that’s all been closed source, but I write code in my free time too. Some projects include:

Everywhere Bible: 2 of the world’s 3 billion internet users can’t use today’s Bible apps. That’s unfortunate because many of those are more likely to have a smart phone than running water. This app is a proof-of-concept that we can do a better job of getting the Bible out there.
Refugee Services of Texas checklist app: A hackathon project where my team worked with local non-profits to help Austin area asylum seekers through the relocation process.
the geometry of innocent signals on the wire: An old project for school evaluating attack vectors on a Square credit card reader.

Talks

The web and Android (slides): After spending ~4 years each on both large scale web and Android apps, I gave this talk about what each does well, and what they could learn from eachother.
Don’t just build, ship (slides): I gave a talk at jQuery Conference Austin about tools that help us ship our projects.
Git: complex, but worth it (slides): I talked to a few of Professor Glen Downing’s classes about git, version control, and software development workflows.

Against my better judgement, I infrequently write about code and computers:
