Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDave Aronson is a seasoned software engineer and founder with over three decades of experience who now consults and speaks internationally on software quality while running Codosaurus, LLC and several side projects. As Chief Wizard he builds production web services (recently an Elixir/Phoenix page-change monitor) and mentors teams in TDD, secure coding, and pragmatic engineering practices. He has led development at companies from Rosetta Stone to BAE Systems, written security analysis tools, and helped shape high-assurance systems for government and commercial clients. Semi-retired and based near Washington, DC with plans to relocate to Porto, he balances technical work with running a mead school and producing practical, grocery-store-friendly brewing content. Known for blending playful curiosity with rigorous craft, he’s equally likely to demo a TDD-driven mead calculator as to tighten a deployment pipeline.
