about me

My name is Aaron, and I am a front-end developer based in Toronto! I have around 2 years of work experience in IT and graduated with a degree in Biotechnology from McMaster University. Through my experiences, I've learned that I enjoyed being in customer-focused roles that require analytical skills and adaptability. Since exploring the world of coding, I've been drawn to the creative yet logical aspects of it and have found a new passion in being able to develop accessible and responsible applications using my skills in HTML, CSS, React, and other web technologies. I'm open to in-office, hybrid or remote opportunities in the GTA, and if you’re hiring, I’d love to meet with you to see if there might be a mutual fit!
