I'm Aaron 👋 making small-batch software, hosting dinners, and renting ski mountains

I'm a software engineer who cares about not making AI slop, automating things for people + businesses that make everyone's lives easier, and building small independent software products that do one thing really well. Including realnice, a ridiculously simple personal website builder where you can get a free-forever personal site (like this one) live in a few minutes on yourname.com. Just came back to NYC after 3.5yrs of study-abroad in LA, and doing a bit of 1:1 AI coaching too for folks who want to put the robots to work and get their time back. Before that...

• I was the CTO of Twill, a Bloomberg Beta-backed hiring startup 

• Was the Founding Head of Community (employee #2) at A.Team, which raised $60m+ and was 100+ folks when I left

• Hosted Friends Rent a Mountain, renting an entire a ski mountain every year for 160+ friends

• Taught entrepreneurship + product @ Binghamton + the National University of Singapore

• Ran Founders Friday in NYC for ~7 years
• ...one time made a website for Britney Spears
