Profile: https://flows.cv/erikmudrak

I'm Erik, a software engineer with 6 years of experience designing, building, and maintaining web + mobile platforms for human-centered problems with direct impact.

I offer a unique skill set —  with extensive experience as both the lead UI/UX Designer and Full Stack Engineer on projects. This confidence in a wide range of product development allows me to have autonomy and ownership of large features, and smoothly translate design into code. I’m able to see the connections between Figma design systems, React components, API structure, and database models with clarity — giving me the ability to build high-quality products quickly. 

When I'm not doing tech work, you'll find me hanging out with my wife and dog, making music with guitars & synthesizers, shooting photos, and catching live music in Indy.
