Howdy! 👋🏼 I'm Eric, a backend & cloud engineer building APIs, data pipelines, and the wiring between them with .NET, Azure, and SQL Server. I chase root causes and leave things better than I found them — systems over snippets. Right now I'm going deeper on distributed systems and cloud architecture on the road to systems engineering.
