// 01SUBJECT FILE

A personnel sheet. Mostly accurate, slightly embellished.

I'm Aaron — a software developer with an MS in Computer Science and a communication degree that taught me how to actually explain what the software does. I move between code, hardware, the web, and the suspiciously interesting places where they all collide.

My favorite kind of project has a breadboard, a deadline, and at least one "wait — what if it could also…" moment. I've shipped web apps, embedded firmware, cockpit-styled control panels with real illuminated buttons, high-end client websites, and the occasional hand-knit textile from a technique older than every OS in the room. I'm also a professional photographer.

I founded Fieldwork Studio LLC in 2026 to put a proper roof over all of it — web design, software, hardware, photography, and the strategy that ties them together. Current flagship engagement: the digital redesign of Concord's Colonial Inn, Est. 1716.
