👋 Hi there! I am Erik Hughes

I'm an absolute tech geek currently based in Toronto, Canada but I call Stockholm, Sweden home. I have been building computer rigs and gadgets for myself, friends, and family since childhood. I love entering programming competitions and challenges, and I've even won a few prizes! I am fascinated by programming in all its varied forms.

I'm particularly passionate about TypeScript and Golang because they are so adaptable and widespread. When combined with client frameworks such as React and Angular, they become a powerful tool for building responsive frontend and scalable backend applications. I'm always reading up on new developments in the field, and I'm always keen to "get my hands dirty" with DevOps things such as Docker and Kubernetes.

One of my current passion projects is skanna which when released will be a service for reducing food waste.

Sponsoring me helps me maintain my open-source projects as well as allows me to continue contributing to other projects I rely on.

If you'd like to see what I'm currently building for the open-source community then take a look at my contributions on GitHub @swiftwork or GitHub @trutoo. Also check out my LinkedIn profile.
