Welcome, friend!
My name is Eric, and I'm a Full-stack Software Engineer seeking my first permanent role in the technology industry.
In 2019, I began fulfilling a life-long curiosity of coding by diving into HTML, CSS, and javaScript through self study and introductory courses through Zenva and Udemy.
After these initial steps, I felt like a more practical training was necessary, so my good friend and colleague Charlie Morris was kind enough to allow me to rebuild his content-rich website. This allowed me to overcome many obstacles and research my way into the best technologies for the project.
In 2022 I decided to enroll in a more formal learning program at General Assembly, where I discovered new technologies, back-end architectural patterns, and working together with other driven students to complete projects in a timely manner.

As a long time colleague and friend, Charlie allowed me to train in web development on his business website, which he initially created himself in the late '90's. After many iterations and months of learning, I landed on using Gatsby and Strapi. Gatsby uses React at its core, giving the website a zippy, app-like look and feel, and fetches data natively with graphql. Strapi is an open-source headless CMS, which allows him to control and add content quickly and intuitively. Includes a blog, music player, video player, and event list.

Gigstr
A live music matchmaking app connecting music venues to musicians, and both to their fans. An initial foray into building an app with Python and Django proved a difficult yet rewarding nut to crack. Definitely more to do on this app to make it fully functional!
