About Aaron
My name is Aaron Eiche (pronounced “Ike”). I’m a Professional Web Developer based in Portland Oregon. I’m interested in all kinds of technology, but largely those kinds of technologies that link people together. My hobbies include: Electronics, computers, the web, and robotics, among other things. I’m also interested in media that looks at people and how we interact with each other.
A little History:
I started doing web development back in August of 2005. A friend didn’t have time to work on a project and she asked me if I’d be interested in handling it. I’d messed around a lot with HTML in my middle-school/high-school days, I could do that. I was doing Windshield chip repair and I could use a little extra cash, so I took the job. While working on that job, I realized that static pages weren’t getting me anywhere and gave in. I got hooked on PHP. In March of the following year, the windshield business had dried up (or rained out I guess), and I realized that I had a skill. A marketable skill. A very generous businessman took a gamble on me and I started doing web development professionally.
Here I am:
After working at Software Solutions down in Utah for two and a half years, My wife (Hykel) and I decided to move up to my home state, Oregon. For 2 years I worked full-time at a company called Netbiz, then contracted for about 9 months before taking a position at my current employer: Huron Consulting Group.
I have a question!
Now that we’ve moved into the question and answer portion of our meeting… wait, that’s not right. 
Okay, you’ve got a question for me. Awesome. I am absolutely into answering questions, offering help, being useful.
Shoot me an email at aaron@aaroneiche.com, you can twitter me at aaroneiche.
Ciao! (no, I don’t speak… whatever language that is)
