You’ve found the website of Joe Erickson, a senior software developer at Recurrent Auto.
I’ve been a software developer for over 20 years, starting off in 1998 at a small web design shop in Akron, Ohio. While I did go to Kent State University for a computer related degree, almost all of my learning was done on the job and in my spare time. Since then, I have learned Perl, Ruby, Java, PHP, CSS, HTML, JavaScript and many other languages along the way, in addition to all the architectural and system administration skills that surround web development.
I’m also a dad of two smart girls and like to write in my spare time. I’m still trying to figure out how I can help more people into this profession, especially those who are underrepresented, who are sorely needed. You can catch some of my more helpful videos at Tech Elevator’s Learn to Code resource page and my Personal Bootcamp talk from PyOhio.
Feel free to contact me about anything by emailing me at joe at jerickson.net.
