Hi, I’m Eric.
I’m a scientist and software developer living in Marquette, Michigan. I’ve spent my career moving between the bench and the keyboard — immunology research, compounding pharmacy, and software development — and I’m currently in Business Development at PCCA, where I get to bridge the science and business sides of pharmaceutical compounding.
I took a deliberate turn away from full-time dev work a while back to be more present with my kids and to live somewhere worth living. The Upper Peninsula delivered on that front. I still love building things with code, though, and this site is where that energy goes.
You can find me on GitHub or read my writing for whatever’s on my mind. I’m not much for social media — you’re better off catching me on a trail somewhere or just emailing me.
Experience
My work spans bench science, pharmacy, and software:
From 2008 to 2015, I researched immunology and cell biology at National Jewish Health and the University of Colorado — Anschutz Medical Campus, working in pediatric rheumatology and immunology with Philippa Marrack, PhD, FRS and Leonard Dragone, MD, PhD, among others.
I spent over a decade leading compounding pharmacy lab operations, most recently as a Lab Director in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
On the software side, I’ve built production applications for organizations including The Texas Medical Association, Xeratec Corporation, and Baby E’s BBQ — and I continue contributing to open source because I like the community and it keeps me sharp.
I also have a handful of publications I’ve contributed to. Here’s more if you’re truly interested.
Personal
Outside of work, I spend my time with my kids and friends, mostly outdoors — climbing, running, or just being in the woods. I keep a log of books I’ve enjoyed and don’t bother posting the ones I didn’t.
I like designing with code and treat this space as a creative outlet. I work across the web stack — HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET, and whatever else gets me where I need to go. Always learning.
