Aaron Smith is a software engineer who specializes in backend systems and clean architectural design. He started his career writing APIs and event-driven services, and over time discovered a passion for helping developers grow — not just in skill, but in judgment.

Aaron believes that senior engineering is less about titles and more about how you think, how you build, and how you teach. His writing is practical, hands-on, and grounded in the kinds of decisions engineers face every day — from modeling systems to designing for change.

When he’s not coding or writing, he’s probably working on something quietly ambitious, like reverse-engineering card games or turning real-world system challenges into learning tools.
