Hello, I'm Erik

I had the pleasure of working with Erik for about two years, during which he demonstrated exceptional front-end expertise. If a question arose, Erik either had the answer or was eager to dive in and collaborate to find one. His ability to learn and teach simultaneously is a rare strength, and his knack for CSS was unmatched. He often resolved complex CSS issues in minutes that left full-stack engineers stumped for hours. Erik also excels at communication, asking good questions to uncover stakeholder needs and ensuring his solutions are on point!

Beyond his technical skills, Erik brings humor, positivity, and a supportive attitude that make him great to work with! He collaborates effectively, readily helps team members who are stuck, and creates an environment where others thrive. I wholeheartedly recommend Erik for any team; he's not just a talented front-end engineer but a teammate who elevates those around him! Plus, he's a genuinely great person!

I wholeheartedly recommend Erik Taylor for your next front-end engineering position. I have had the pleasure of hiring, working with, and managing Erik for several years and would do so again. Erik is a consummate team player, always available to assist others and dig into tricky issues or new technologies. He was often relied on to onboard other engineers or explain technical concepts to non-technical subject owners. His verbal skills are excellent, and he can engage with many different personality types.

Erik's technical skills allowed him to work both within legacy applications and on new implementations. If there was a framework he didn't know, he quickly got up to speed and made recommendations for enhancements or team direction. I look forward to the opportunity to work with him once again.

I worked closely with Erik for over 2 years at Arrivia as his direct supervisor. Erik was the lead front-end developer on my team, building best-in-class user experiences for our membership-based travel websites. Erik's strong technical and leadership skills were instrumental in advancing our products to the next level. He is a highly talented software engineer dedicated to beautiful design, innovative technology, collaborative methodology, and the pursuit of excellence. He comes to work every day with a great attitude and is always helpful to others in training new employees, advising the design team, and ensuring our sprint commitments are met. At Arrivia, we had multiple frontend technologies on our various platforms that needed migration to a common framework. Erik took the initiative to evaluate and prototype the latest front-end technologies to help our company make important decisions on our future state roadmap.

I would recommend Erik to any company looking for an outstanding software engineer with a great attitude toward building best-in-class user experiences.

During the 2+ years I worked with Erik at Arriva, not only did he demonstrate his skills as a UI/UX developer on each and every project we worked on, but he also went beyond what was asked of him. He successfully led a team of junior developers, and it showed in our Agile ceremonies. His team always got the work done on time.

As a Senior Quality Assurance Engineer with 23 years of experience who has worked with many developers, collaborating with Erik was a joy. His communication skills are second to none. If I had any UI/UX questions that were beyond my level of technical understanding, Erik was always able to explain it in a way that allowed me to test his work in QA accordingly.

In short, I highly recommend Erik Taylor. He would be a welcomed addition to any company in which employees thrive on teamwork and collaboration.

It's not often that you have the opportunity to work with a developer as skilled and driven as Erik. I worked with him as a Product Owner for a year and a half, and in that time, he delivered over 15 front-end features. Throughout which, he demonstrated thoughtfulness for the holistic experience, advocated strongly for the user, and plowed through roadblocks like nobody I've seen before. Not only is he ridiculously efficient, but I was always particularly impressed by his ability to juggle constantly shifting requirements and collaborate closely with other teams like UX or Operations to deliver top-notch experiences for our users on a tight schedule. Whatever I gave to Erik, I knew it would get done. I truly miss Erik's perspective and expertise on our team, and his quippy remarks that brought levity and humor to every situation. As a team member and first-class developer, Erik has my highest recommendation.
