Aidan Walden

Junior Software Engineer @ American Arbitration Association

About

Software engineer with experience in backend development, automation, and infra work across real production systems. I’ve built internal tools, automated workflows, and worked directly with live databases, APIs, and containerized services. My experience includes TypeScript, Python, Docker, SQL/MongoDB, and reactive web frameworks, in small teams with full ownership across debugging, deployment, and support tooling. Outside of work, I maintain long-running infrastructure projects (selfhosted servers, automation, system hardening) to build production-grade environments. Currently interested in backend, platform, DevOps, or infrastructure software engineering roles.
