Erik is a senior software engineer at an insurance technology company in Reno, Nevada. He's also a tech author, podcast co-host, blogger, and YouTuber.
Even though Erik has a traditional computer science degree, his path wasn't very traditional. He took a break from college after a couple of semesters, took a job in tech support for a few years, and then went back to finish his degree.
And that's what we're going to be talking about today:
- Erik's journey to becoming a senior software engineer
- Why having a CS degree doesn't mean you don't have to teach yourself to code
- Why Erik recommends learning the Vue.js framework
- And more!
