Senior🎓
Top SchoolErik Olson is a Senior Software Engineer based in Bellingham, Washington, with 15+ years building platform and infrastructure solutions and 11 years of focused professional experience in clinical and health-data applications. He has led engineering teams and cloud migrations at major medical centers, architecting scalable cohort-building and data-delivery systems that handle millions of patient records and complex ETL pipelines. Erik blends hands-on coding (from web front-ends to databases and PySpark/Databricks) with technical leadership—driving cloud migrations, automating legacy job conversions, and mentoring peers to raise code quality. He’s comfortable collaborating with external partners (e.g., Verily) and translating clinical requirements into secure, production-ready systems. A pragmatic problem-solver who “traps lightning in rocks,” he favors durable, auditable solutions that reduce timelines and operational risk.
