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!
