Eric Crosson is an engineering manager with 13 years of experience building developer-facing systems and shipping robust software across startups and enterprise environments. Based in Austin, he blends a deep appreciation for functional and reactive programming in statically-typed languages with hands-on experience from embedded and validation roles up through CTO and engineering leadership. He currently focuses on developer experience at a stealth startup after leading technology strategy as CTO at Strong Roots Capital and contributing to OpenStack architecture at IBM. Comfortable moving between low-level validation work in wireless/semiconductor contexts and high-level platform design, he brings a pragmatic, type-driven approach to improving developer productivity. A curious engineer at heart — his GitHub quip “Maybe the real tests were the types we made along the way” hints at a preference for strong types and design that prevent classes of bugs before they surface.
