I’m Erin - raised in the Bay Area, schooled in Sonoma, Hawaii, and NYC. I’m a software engineer with a drive for JavaScript, React, explaining things simply and cats. I hold a MA in Communication from Hawaii Pacific University and previously worked at Major League Soccer on the mobile team. I’ve given talks internationally and across the US on the work I’ve been doing. I keep busy with new side projects, reading all of Reese Witherspoon’s bookclub books, re-watching Frontend Master courses, and tweeting about it all on Twitter.
