👤
SeniorErik Thauvin is a veteran hardware and software engineer with nearly four decades of professional experience, who began programming on a Tandy Model III at age 12 and later joined Apple in his early twenties. As owner of Thauvin.Net since 1999 and former director of technology at multiple companies, he blends deep technical craftsmanship with entrepreneurial experience, having started and exited several firms.
