Aaron is a Canadian expat living in Switzerland who has been developing software professionally for some 25 years. He has been a prominent participant in the Free / Open Source community starting in the late 90's, and was deeply involved in the development and progress of client-side Linux, both as a software architect and community leader. An entrepreneurial spirit, Aaron has founded and run various tech companies during his career with a range of focus points from web traffic analysis to embedded systems, as well as worked at Fortune 500 companies doing original product design and small companies doing software design and development. These days Aaron is focused on distributed computing and scaling to the new multi-core, decentralized, and permissionless systems that are emerging. He currently works at Nomoko, a company whose mission it is to make a digital copy of the planet, and writes Elixir and Erlang code daily as part of that mission.
