About Aaron Kern

I’m a full-stack engineer with nearly a decade of experience building scalable, modern applications using TypeScript, React, Next.js, and PostgreSQL. I specialize in backend architecture, frontend design systems, and developer workflows that actually scale.On the backend, I build modern APIs using tRPC, Express.js, Drizzle ORM, and PostgreSQL, often containerized with Docker and deployed across platforms like Azure, AWS, and Vercel. I’ve worked with Node.js, Bun, pnpm, npm, and Deno, giving me flexibility across modern JavaScript runtimes and tooling stacks.My frontend stack includes Next.js 14 App Router, Tailwind CSS, ShadCN, Radix UI, and custom component libraries. I’ve led UI work on role-based access systems, multi-tenant dashboards, AI-integrated forms, and complex editing experiences in React.Recent work includes- Implementing full AI CRUD applications with tRPC, Drizzle, and pgvector- Prototyping AI integrations using LangChain, embedding pipelines, and OpenAI APIs- Experimenting with CrewAI, agentic workflows, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) for context-driven agent coordination- Automating document generation (PDFs, Word) with custom prompt pipelines and variable templatesI also work comfortably with- Python for scripting and microservices in AWS- CI/CD (GitHub Actions, AWS DevOps)- Authentication (Clerk, Supabase, NextAuth, Lucia, AWS, custom RBAC)- DevOps fundamentals on Linux-based systemsI thrive in fast-moving teams that value autonomy, deep technical work, and systems thinking. I\'m always pushing to learn more — whether it’s cutting-edge AI frameworks or just simply thinking outside the box.
