Top SchoolEric Capps is a senior developer and full‑stack engineer based in Austin with roughly two decades of industry experience and a dozen years in hands‑on professional roles building merchant- and customer‑facing products. He specializes in front‑end and React/React Native work—recently driving Shopify POS’s migration to a single cross‑platform codebase—while also delivering MVPs, native apps, and backend services through his consultancy Outlier. Known for mentoring engineers and improving developer ergonomics, he pairs pragmatic architecture and testing practices with a product-first mindset that keeps software “out of the way” for users.

Quietly versatile, he moves between solo consulting and large teams, shipping features that balance merchant needs and operational resilience.
