About me
Hey! I'm Eric. I began my coding journey back in high school and got my B.A. in Computer Science from Boston University. My attraction to computer science and programming is driven by my determination to solve problems. I'm always excited to take on a new challenge and learn how to use the newest and greatest tech. Outside of work I love to travel and spend time outside. My favorite country is Denmark where I spent a semester as an exchange student at the University of Copenhagen.
