About
Hey, I'm Erik. I'm a Senior Developer Advocate at AWS, author of Vue.js in Action and the Ember.js Cookbook, and the person behind the Program With Erik YouTube channel.
I've been building software for over 15 years and teaching it for 10+. I have a B.S. in Computer Science and an M.B.A. in Entrepreneurship from the University of Nevada, Reno. I've given talks at conferences like VueConf, JSNation, React Summit, Stir Trek, TheJam.dev, and FITC.
Right now I'm focused on AI agents, frontend development, and making cloud services approachable for developers who'd rather build than configure infrastructure.
When I'm not working, I'm playing video games, watching sci-fi (Doctor Who, Star Trek, Silo, Battlestar Galactica), or tinkering with side projects that may or may not see the light of day.
