Hello, I’m Aron

I’m a computer programmer & a creative based in Naarm a.k.a. Melbourne. I love computers, music, philosophy, and nature.

There is a Japanese term which I love called ikigai, which roughly translates to ‘a reason for being’. It can be thought of as the overlapping of four elements — what a person likes, what a person is good at, what the world needs, and what a person can earn money from. I try to practice this by working on a variety of different things.

Consulting

I do consulting work for small businesses, not-for-profits, and early-stage startups. I’ve worked across many fields of computing including building web apps, data analysis, system administration, and embedded software for devices. I work in various languages including Ruby, Python, C, OCaml, Common Lisp, and many others.

If you’d like to know more about the projects I’ve worked on, feel free to get in touch with me and I’ll be happy to send through a CV.

Web design & development

I design and build hand-crafted websites for creatives, small businesses, and not-for-profits. I love making websites that have personality, and invoke the sense of playfulness and joy of the early internet.

You can see some examples of some of the websites I’ve built over on my portfolio.

Volunteering

I volunteer for an organisation called Live Music Locator (LML) - a not-for-profit who’s mission is to make it possible to discover every gig playing at every venue across every genre at any one time.

As a Gig Researcher, part of my role is to help populate and maintain the database of gigs happening across Melbourne. I’ve also built a few projects on top of LML’s open API.
