About me

About Me

Hello there! I'm Erik, a fullstack software developer currently based in Valencia, Spain. My passion for problem-solving began in childhood, leading to victories in chess and physics competitions. This drive evolved through university, where I honed my skills in Competitive Programming, participating in—and winning—multiple university-level programming contests.

After studying software engineering at university, I continued to expand my expertise by self-learning modern technologies and applying them in both personal and professional settings. Becoming a software developer has been one of the best decisions I've ever made, as it has allowed me to work on things I love: solving complex challenges, learning and improving continuously, delivering impactful solutions, and becoming a better person.
