Profile: https://flows.cv/ericguan

Hi, I’m Eric 👋 — a full-stack software engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable web applications E2E. I specialize in crafting seamless user experiences with React, Next.js, and Tailwind CSS, while also building reliable backends with Node.js and Python/FastAPI. I’ve deployed production systems with Docker and Kubernetes, and streamlined development through CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions.

At OceanX, I engineer tools that help scientists explore and annotate ocean research data — from complex data visualizations to creating a novel deep-sea annotation platform powered by real-time data pipelines. 

Outside of engineering, I’m a competitive Spikeball player, proud cat dad, and always looking for the next great hiking trail.
