Eric Hokanson is a Principal Software Engineer with 12+ years building cloud-native, data-intensive systems and a strong background across Golang, Python, Java, Scala and a dozen other languages. He currently architects and implements streaming and batch pipelines (Kafka, Storm, Spark, Airflow) and migrates services to EKS/Helm on AWS, bringing hands-on ownership from low-level data stores (ClickHouse, Redis, MySQL) to S3. As a founder of a robotics/open-hardware hobbyist company, he blends practical embedded systems experience with production backend expertise, and he has a history of leading cross-functional forums and winning internal hackathons. Comfortable across full-stack web, real-time processing, and containerized deployments, he is equally at home optimizing throughput as designing maintainable APIs. Based in Broomfield, Colorado, he favors open source collaboration and pragmatic engineering that turns complex data flows into reliable, scalable products.
