        Aaron is one of a kind programmer and reporter. I had the pleasure of working with Aaron during his time at the Innovation Lab. His solid programming skills and deep insights in journalistic reporting allowed us to explore previously unattainable ideas. He truly connected both worlds and propelled the team to build better news products. Besides, he was able to work on multiple projects simultaneously while not scarfing the quality a bit. He has all the qualities you want for a perfect team player: responsive, capable, sympathetic, and inspiring.
