Hi,I'mAiden

A developer, game creator, and CS student @ UT Austin 🤘

About Me

Aiden Johnson

Hey there! I'm Aiden, a sophomore at The University of Texas at Austin majoring in Computer Science. I'm passionate about creating impactful software and applications that enhance user experiences. When I'm not coding, I'm playing football (won intramurals Fall 2024!), basketball, and pickleball, along with going to the gym.


Alongside my ongoing and future career in Computer Science, I plan to volunteer at the local Fire Department wherever my CS career takes me. Ever since I was a kid, I've always had a strong desire to join the fire service and help people in need. I've actually made a game about first responding on Roblox, scroll down for more info!
