Aaron Aldrich

ADHD and Self Awareness

Aaron is passionate about people. As an engineer, he is also passionate about how people fit together and how we operate and, sometimes more fascinatingly, how we disfunction and how to continue operations when we do. Aaron learned he may have ADHD only after adulthood and it's been like finding that offending bug that's been causing problems for years. There is so much misinformation and stigma around mental health. In the spirit of open source, he wants his contributions to help build the community by correcting the myths and sharing the lessons learned from having his own ADHD perspective when approaching technology and people.

Aaron has a family, and enjoys playing the bass, board gaming, video gaming, really anything you can do with other people. He also organizes the DevOps CT meetup and have organized the DevOpsDays Hartford conference.Find out more >
