I'm Aaron Harris. I recently left one of the world's largest hedge funds, and finance in general, to launch Tutorspree. How am I going to do that? Well, that's what I'm figuring out every day. Observations on that, technology in general, and what I encounter along the way will form the substance here. If you want to get in touch, drop me a line at akharris at gmail dot com. Have fun with it, play safe.

Schedule a lesson with me!

This is an attempt at redesigning the tutorspree profile page that I built mostly for practice. We’ve hired a designer to make something significantly better, but going from a blank page to this felt pretty good (though clearly it’s not good enough). As I take over more and more of the front end work from Ryan, it will be tests like this that make me better. HTML/CSS can be pretty very time consuming, and as we ramp up and load balance responsibilities, creating a release valve (me) for handling it is critical.
In any case, our real new profiles will be up soon, as will our whole prototype.
