Erik is a senior software engineer at an insurance technology company in Reno, Nevada. He’s also a tech author, podcast co-host, blogger, and YouTuber. 

Even though Erik has a traditional computer science degree, his path wasn’t very traditional. He took a break from college after a couple of semesters, took a job in tech support for a few years, and then went back to finish his degree.

And that’s what we’re going to be talking about today: 

• Erik’s journey to becoming a senior software engineer
• Why having a CS degree doesn’t mean you don’t have to teach yourself to code
• Why Erik recommends learning the Vue.js framework
• And more!
