Octopus high five 🐙 👏

I'm Erik, and I work a lot on OSS libraries in my free time. Thank you so much for considering supporting my OSS work through Github Sponsors!

What your support enables me

Programming is my passion ❤️

Some people go swimming, drive fast cars or collect cups. I love it to solve complex problems with my computer. It satisfies me when the program finally works and all tests are green.

Yes tests! Usually, my code is developed test driven. Which means that I set up CI first, write a test and then implement the functionality. This guarantees that the master is always valid regarding the tests and that I think about the software design during writing the tests. Which results finally in a better code quality. If you share my passion for programming then I would be happy to get you as a sponsor.

What you get

I'm working with computers since I can think. My programming history started in my childhood with QBasic on an old 386er my father brought from work. With the upcoming internet in my school time I was very interested in web design. So I developed a lot of private web pages with html, javascript, php and mysql. It was totally clear to me that I will become a software enginieer. Finally, I fell in love with C++ during my studies. I'm a big fan of zero overhead abstraction via meta template programming. I made a detour into high performance computing with accelerators. Currently, I wander with typescript.
