Hi, I’m Erik!

Full-Stack Engineer & Technical Architect

I architect and ship production software end to end—from high-performance React/Next.js frontends to headless CMS, GraphQL/REST APIs, databases, third-party integrations, monorepos, and cloud infrastructure.

Architecture & Technical Expertise

I work across product architecture, frontend, backend, content, data, integrations, cloud infrastructure, and delivery—so a greenfield project can be designed as one coherent system instead of a collection of disconnected parts.

Technical ownership beyond the frontend

I can take responsibility for the decisions that determine whether a product stays fast, maintainable, reliable, and easy to evolve.

Greenfield architecture

From requirements to repo structure, service boundaries, schemas, environments, and deployment. I choose the stack around the product rather than forcing every project into the same template.

Headless & composable systems

CMS, commerce, and application layers designed around structured content, reusable APIs, independent frontends, localization, and practical editorial workflows.

APIs, integrations & automation

GraphQL and REST APIs, webhooks, authentication, commerce integrations, external business services, and reliable data flows between systems.

Performance, reliability & delivery

SSR/SSG/ISR, caching, Core Web Vitals, query and bundle optimization, observability, automated testing, and CI/CD.

Selected architecture experience

A few examples of the kinds of systems and technical decisions I have owned.
