About Me

My name is Aidan Sawyer. I'm a Web Developer, Brewer, Distiller, bartender, and fireman with a great appreciation for immersion, interoperability, and separation of concerns.

I think everything is better crafted when done both with an earnest interest/investment in its purpose and from within a pretty deep knowledge of the context for its use. I try to hold myself to these measures throughout my life.

Software is a powerful tool for communicating and facilitating ideas and supporting work across any number of industries. While it's not my only calling and interest, it's a means of expression and a way to dabble and explore interesting ideas, support my other work (and future family), and to maintain my skills over time.

I spent much of my early career working in and around academic research and libraries. We live in a world replete with information and research, so finding ways to organize, describe, find, and access it all, remain challenging and important problems I hope to return to at some point in my future.

I've spent the last couple years exploring brewing/distilling, emergency response, writing, and mountaineering. All of these provide a time, space, and protection for varieties of human experience that I deeply cherish. I'm currently in search of a way to better incorporate one or more of these fields with my capacities in software development.
