Erik Stockmeier is a full-stack software engineer in Chicago with 11 years of experience building production web and auction systems, currently shaping Artsy’s auctions stack across Ruby, Scala, Node, MongoDB, Postgres and RabbitMQ. He combines a developer’s attention to systems-level detail with a teacher’s habit of clear iteration and collaboration, having previously worked as an educator, paralegal, and bike mechanic. At Artsy he’s contributed front-end auction features and mobile live-auction functionality to well-known projects like artsy/force and artsy/eigen, bridging real-time UI work with backend services. He’s equally comfortable writing integration tests and maintaining deployment tooling from his QA-engineer background, and he’s motivated by using code to support more just, sustainable communities. Not obvious from his title: his varied past roles feed a practical empathy for users and a knack for translating complex workflows into elegant, maintainable systems.
