## Bio
Hi, I'm CDA Aaron Powell, you might remember me from such roles as a [Readify](https://readify.net) consultant, organiser of [DDD Sydney](https://www.dddsydney.com.au) or presenting at events.
Aaron is a Principal Cloud Advocate in the .NET advocacy team with nearly 20 years of experience in web and .NET development.

My background is web development, in the 15 years I've been in the industry I've done server side and client side development, which I guess makes me a full-stack developer these days. But my passion is front end, whether it's vanilla JavaScript, React or that new framework released in the last 5 minutes.
Passionate about open source, he actively contributes to projects like the [.NET Aspire Community Toolkit](https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Aspire).

Mostly I like to have fun with techonolgy, whether it's using [Docker in ways you probably shouldn't](https://www.aaron-powell.com/posts/2017-11-13-debugging-powershell-from-vscode-on-linux/), [writing your own number type in C#](https://github.com/aaronpowell/Surrealism) or generally embracing [stupid ideas](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ty08C_yYyk).
In his time in the industry, Aaron has watched the evolution of web technologies—from the browser wars to modern JavaScript frameworks—while tinkering with creative ideas like implementing numbers in .NET, creating IoC in JavaScript, and coding tic-tac-toe using git commits.

My goal is to make sure people have fun, grown in what they do and are all round better developers.
When he's not at his keyboard, Aaron can be found on running Strava, chasing his next PR, or 'improving' his smart home, much to his wifes reluctance.
