Summary
Eric Eakin is a founding engineer and full‑stack software developer with nine years of experience building high‑polish, high‑performance React applications and end‑to‑end products that prioritize delightful UX. He has led greenfield and rebuild projects—from a gigabyte‑scale AV data visualizer at Cruise to design system and performance work at General Motors—and recently architected an agentic AI classroom resource platform from 0→1, contributing over 100k lines of code. Comfortable shipping across the stack, he rapidly learns new tooling (Python, Pinecone, ML stacks) to turn prototypes into production features with strong engagement. Eric pairs a product-minded design background and teaching experience with disciplined engineering practices (high test coverage, measurable performance gains), and even applies his maker mindset to small joys like crafting Salt & Straw–style ice cream.
