Aaron leads a team building Autonomous agents at Nvidia. He last talked to us after his first book, Nomadic Developer, dropped in 2009. Since then, spent 9 years at ThoughtWorks, moved to San Francsico, built internal developer platforms at Salesforce, became a VPE at New Relic, then lost his mind and decided to become a startup founder where he attempted to build a company that used AI to automate your company reorg. After that startup didn't work, he joined Nvidia, where he now builds AI agents that optimize usage of GPU resources across the GPU fleet for Nvidia.
