Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErich Welz is a hands-on engineering manager and senior full-stack engineer with 12 years of experience building reliable, user-focused web applications and leading front-end, test automation, and quality strategy. He pairs direct coding with team leadership—unblocking technical challenges, mentoring engineers, and translating product goals into clear engineering work across React/TypeScript, Node.js, and Rails stacks. Recently he led development of AI-powered features and practical LLM integrations (prompting, model evaluation, MCP patterns) at Talespin/Cornerstone, bringing production experience with OpenAI-style APIs. Erich has a strong operational background—CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes/Openshift, Redis, and AWS—and a track record of simplifying complex systems like payments and ETL pipelines to reduce maintenance overhead. He thrives in hands-on EM or senior IC roles where he can both ship code and raise team craft, and his early work optimizing caching, CDNs, and image pipelines hints at a pragmatic focus on performance and cost-efficiency.
