#48 Aaron Vernon: Founder and CEO of Split Atom Labs

Aaron Vernon started teaching himself how to code when he was 12 years old, then went on to begin his impressive career as a software engineer as an early member of multiple startups, in the game development industry, and eventually working for the tech giant, Meta. But he’s now the Founder of Split Atom Labs, a startup “building an inclusive future for casual gaming”, and a 2025 Apple Design Award Finalist. Aaron and Zach went deep into the weeds on this one—from covering Aaron’s professional path, to nerding-out about coding, dissolving illusions around LLMs and quantum computing’s impact on the near future, accessible design, and so much more.
