Hello!
I'm Eric Crooks, a software engineer experienced in a variety of tech stacks across the entire software development lifecycle. I've worked on projects using different languages (typed and untyped), libraries, frameworks (software and project management), design patterns, workflows/pipelines, and infrastructures.
- helping 1 million+ customers in Puerto Rico restore their power after hurricane Ernesto and Fiona;
- streamlining UAS registration with the FAA for companies like DJI, AgEagle, Nokia, and more;
- content delivery for Cisco's learning network which includes CCNA and CCNP certifcation and training materials; and
- writing documentation for technical and non-technical readers everywhere I go
My main focus these days is in interoperability in JavaScript runtimes (Deno, Node, Bun), Web Standards, and Pine Script for building TradingView indicators.
Over the years, I grew a huge passion for making software development enjoyable and relatively easy for everyone. This means you'll always find me striving to innovate, teach, motivate, write/maintain documentation, lower barriers, and anything else that improves the development experience. This goes for everyone and not just coders! Building and maintaining open-source is one way I get to do this outside of closed-source.
When I'm not coding hard in the paint, you can find me woodworking, journaling, reading, bartending, or getting some rest.
