Aaron Huggins
Hi, my name is Aaron. I'm a software engineer professionally since 2009, and as a hobby since 1999!
I am a leader and doer with a deep knowledge of enterprise applications, JavaScript, TypeScript, and agile practices. At every opportunity, I've worked to learn and execute well on teamwork, leadership skills, and inclusivity. I have managed people and led teams to successful outcomes for the business in difficult circumstances and hard deadlines. I write and design small to large-scale applications and libraries, and I love to create readable code.
