Background

Hello World! I'm Aaron, a Web & Software Developer based in Sunderland, UK. I have always had a passion for understanding how 'things' work; this natural curiosity extended to programming in 2008 after watching some online tutorials. Thereafter I decided to teach myself the fundamentals of Java and PHP before starting at the University of Sunderland in 2009 to study Computer Science.

You can find out more about me from my CV.

Languages

• Server Side Web: Most of my web work is dynamic, database-driven, using PHP; though I have also used ASP.NET.
• Client Side Web: XHTML, CSS, JavaScript (including jQuery). I'm currently exploring HTML5.
• Databases: I have used SQL in various environments; including MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle.
• Software: I have experience of developing applications in both C# and Java.

• Complete my final year of University with a first-class honours.
• Obtain a position at a Software/Information Systems company and work my way up the ladder.
