I work at the intersection of care and code.
Hello and welcome! I’m Eric, a freelance web developer and mental health therapist based in Calgary, Alberta. I built my first website in 1998 (spoiler, it sucked!). But I'm happy to report things have improved. Today, I build award winning websites combining my expertise in technology and human behaviour!
