I'm Erik.
I build the systems that let creatives scale.
Fusing nearly 20 years of design experience with modern infrastructure, I build enterprise automations within contained pipelines. My philosophy is simple: automation should be used to eliminate operational bottlenecks, leaving the actual creative work to real humans.
I build the backend so your team can focus on the craft.
System Blueprints

Single-tenant, SOC-2 compliant automation vaults bypassing public cloud limits via self-hosted n8n and Docker.
Automated RAG Ingestion
Decoupled microservices parsing proprietary Notion databases into Markdown and routing to Google Vertex AI Data Stores.
This Portfolio
Orchestrated using Google Antigravity and Vercel. A static frontend wrapper for high-fidelity creative artifacts.
Two Decades of Creative Direction
An assortment of brand, UI, and editorial work proving I don't just understand backend APIs. I also understand the final deliverables.
