About
Hi there!
I’m Eric from Chicago. I’m a curious engineer that enjoys solving the hardest problems and making a big impact.
I try to seek out simple and elegant solutions whenever possible and love making things more efficient. I’ve been fascinated with how
things work ever since I could hold a screwdriver, and aren’t afraid to get my hands dirty digging thru source code of some obscure
open source project while finding the root cause of a bug that only can be reproduced on Tuesdays under a full moon while doing
a handstand.
I currently work at WP Engine as a Senior Staff Software Engineer on the Deploy team. Previously I worked at Packback, an EdTech startup where I joined as engineer #2 and built and scaled their product. On the side I maintain a police scanner site
called CrimeIsDown.com whose code is available @CrimeIsDown.
I get to do some cool stuff with software-defined radios there.
Work
Lately I’ve been focused on site reliability and developer experience in my work, but I’ve worked up and down the stack to get the job done. For more detail, check out my full resume.
