Check out my portfolio at www.aaronconklin.com.

With over three years of experience in full stack web development, and four years in design, I'm looking to find a full-time mid-level developer role. My strengths as a developer are in REACT, Node/Express.js, PSQL, Javascript, CSS/Sass, Ruby, Ruby on Rails, HTML/HAML, Git Management, and the Adobe Suite. I learn quickly on my own with active use of StackOverflow, W3Schools, GitHub, and other documentation, but would love to work with a collaborative team.

Colleagues would describe me as empathetic, innovative, creative, kind, quick-learning, and an excellent communicator. I also bring years of experience in visual art, music, and storytelling/communicating to the work place.

I love dedicating my time to new skills and am the type of employee that works tirelessly to understand all aspects of the workspace to be able to offer a seamless experience to both colleagues and clients. 

I’m currently working as a lead front end developer and project manager. I can be reached either through this profile, by phone at 312-508-2838, or through my portfolio site: www.aaronconklin.com
