I'm Aaron Falk
Software Developer and Tech Enthusiast
I'm a recent graduate of The Pennsylvania State University with a Bachelor's in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics. As I enter the workforce, I am learning how to become a software engineer that helps build dynamic, user-friendly applications.
In my free time, you can find me working on personal projects, lifting weights, or picking up a new hobby.
About
I view the field of software development as the most artistic form of problem-solving in modern engineering. The crux of computer science is taking on a new problem and delivering a solution that is elegant, precise, and carefully crafted.
I am excited to begin my professional software engineering journey with Capital One. As a member of the Technical Development Program (TDP), I will build a strong foundation of building applications with scale, efficiency, and best practices all in mind. I look forward to a long and lasting career with great leadership to guide me.
Outside of professional work, I am an avid believer in community and valued friendships. Whether it's playing volleyball, hiking, or just hanging out with friends, I am always looking for ways to connect with others. I am excited to bring this same sense of community and value with me in all steps of life.
