Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Whatley is a pragmatic software engineer and founder with over 15 years of experience building scalable web and cloud systems from Austin, Texas. He blends hands-on development and architecture work—having owned core site engineering at RetailMeNot, built internal DevOps and BI platforms, and currently contributing to Favor Delivery while running his consultancy, Touchstone Softworks. His toolkit spans PHP, Scala, Python, C#, Docker, CoreOS, AWS, and a history of shipping production automation like quality test management, forecasting engines, and infrastructure inventory crawlers. Aaron favors practical, reliable solutions (he once wrote a lightweight "AaronMVC" framework and a suite of cloud management tools) and routinely bridges product, ops, and engineering needs. He has a proven track record of turning complex operational challenges into maintainable systems and internal tools that increase engineering velocity and observability. Colleagues describe him as an uncompromisingly pragmatic problem-solver who enjoys the craft of programming as much as the architecture behind it.
