Hi, my name is

Erik.

I build things with machines

and I think about the consequences.

About Me

I am full stack engineer and tech enthusiast and am passionate about building reliable, performant applications. After working in the industry for a few years and continuing studies after university, I’ve begun to take an interest in the intersection of tech, history, and the broader political economy.

On my slice of the internet, you will find information technology I’m working with along with analysis around economics, power, and technology.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • Bigquery
  • Snowflake
  • Apache Beam
  • Spring Boot 3
  • Tekton
  • Jenkins
  • Typescript
  • React | Vue | Angular
  • Golang
  • Kubernetes | Docker
