Hi, I'm Aaron Crowder. Or—if you know me online—CrowderSoup.

Father of two, Software developer, and lover of the open web. I like to take things apart (and sometimes even put them back together). I can frequently be found tinkering with some bit of code in my spare time.

Pronouns: He/Him, They/Them

I’m building something similar to the original Aaron of IndieWeb as IndieNews and I’m really excited about it. Hoping to have something to share in a couple weeks!
