I am joining the DEV team!

Hi everyone! I'm Aikeda. I am interning at DEV this summer alongside Brian as a Business Development & Growth Analyst.

I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and am currently in the process of completing my bachelor degree in Business, with an intended major in strategy and a minor in operations management & information systems. Growing up, I have always been very passionate about entrepreneurship, which led me to start my own business in high school, and work with a food start-up earlier in my freshman year. I am also very fascinated about technology and have been involved with many biz-tech student organizations on campus (which is how I learned about DEV and decided to join the company).

This summer, I am excited to join the team to help scale and grow the community by engaging with prospective business partners and finding new growth opportunities. While I am not busy working on DEV intern projects, you can find me travelling, trying new cuisines or learning coding on the side. I look forward to engaging with the team and the DEV community so please feel free to reach out on the platform!

Hey Aikeda,

Congratulations on joining the DEV.to for the summer.
I'm an active DEV.to member in Toronto and could possibly introduce you to business development opportunities within Toronto.

The best way is to meet in person. I'm hosting this event next week:

Solutions Architect Toronto Meetup June 22

or add me to LinkedIn.

Welcome to the DEV community Aikeda! This is one of the most vibrant places on the interwebs where you'll find a diverse group of people with different backgrounds but all having something in common about programming. I think you'll simply enjoy it!
