Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Cameron is a software engineer in Chicago with about 12–15 years of professional web engineering experience centered on Ruby on Rails, Elixir/Phoenix, modern JavaScript, and POSIX systems. He has built production services from startup-grade ETL and high-volume catalogs to state and public-safety web apps, and has strong practical experience with Postgres, Redis, Docker, Azure, Elasticsearch, Broadway, and declarative workflow design. As the first full-time engineer at Gearflow he grew an engineering team and designed resilient data pipelines; at the American Library Association he architected a Rails grant-application platform used by thousands. His background as a teenage Unix sysadmin and a liberal-arts education in philosophy give him a pragmatic, systems-oriented perspective and a talent for clear technical writing. Outside of code he’s a musician, audio/recording enthusiast and occasional photographer, and he frequently discusses WebAssembly and AI-generated application logic on technical podcasts. His public work and writing live on GitHub and the Gnar blog, reflecting a blend of craftsmanship, systems thinking, and open-source advocacy.
