Eric Chiruka
Software Engineer

I build reliable software across backend, frontend, and infrastructure,
with an interest in understanding how systems work beneath the abstractions.

I enjoy working across the stack, from Java services and databases to
frontend applications, Linux systems, tooling, and developer environments.

I run, cycle, play korfball and my favourite colour scheme is solarized light.
