About

My name is Aaron Batilo. I spend time in what interests me.

I used to:

• break dance
• compete in yo-yo contests
• ranked in the top 1% of StarCraft 2 players, globally
• compete in bar pool/billiards leagues
• had a professional news crew in my basement

And now I:

• watch smash melee (the one from 2001)
• watch anime

I am a life long learner. My favorite hobby is to tinker. I call it “gardening”. I build websites, I configure clusters in the cloud, and when I garden, I have no goal. I enjoy the journey.

I am not a hero. I don’t believe in heroics. I don’t believe in burning myself out. Work smarter, not harder.

I am egoless. I’m energized by being challenged. Don’t be afraid to tell me that I’m wrong. And if you do, I’ll be engufled with a feeling to learn more, so be ready for that.

I am transparent. I think I’m quite simple. I’ll tell you how I feel. I’ve never regretted being honest, and I don’t have the patience to be secretive.
