Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Winger is a seasoned software engineer with over two decades of experience building GUIs and object-server integrations, currently developing Smalltalk-based interfaces at Emergence after a long tenure at GemTalk Systems. Based in Portland, he pairs deep technical craft—particularly in Smalltalk, C, and GUI development—with an uncommon parallel career as a multi-award-winning public-speech coach who’s trained hundreds of students and helped many improve listening and evaluation skills. This combination gives him an engineer’s eye for detail and a communicator’s ability to clarify complex ideas for teams and stakeholders. He still writes code every day while running CoachedByEric.com, bringing practical mentorship and coaching to both software and public-speaking audiences.
