Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Boesen is a Yale undergraduate and software engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience building consumer-facing mobile and web products and scalable backend services. He co-founded UMenus and led engineering to reach 75% of Yale undergrads monthly (50% daily), driving 3M sessions and 30,000 food reviews, and previously built Yale Menus, the campus's top dining app used by over 80% of students. His internships at Google and PowerSchool yielded production features at global scale—quick-answer Search UI rendering billions of queries and a TypeScript serverless scoring service that cut transaction times by 92%. Comfortable across Swift/Kotlin, React Native, Python, TypeScript, and Postgres, he repeatedly ships full-stack solutions that blend product intuition with robust engineering. Beyond campus apps, Erik has a long history of founding and shipping projects—from Vektre Labs to social event and directory apps—demonstrating an entrepreneurial knack for surprising, high-adoption experiences.
