Hi there! I’m a software engineer at Superscript, a fintech scale-up on a mission to transform the SME insurance space.
I’m passionate about crafting great experiences—not just for users, but for fellow engineers too. I care deeply about writing clean, well-considered code and enjoy contributing to open-source projects.
Before this, I was at Scrn, where I worked on the Eurovision Song Contest website and built an event-management platform called Accredion from the ground up.

At Superscript, I led the modernisation of our backoffice system using FilamentPHP, significantly accelerating feature development. I also introduced quality assurance practices, including static code analysis.
In a follow-up project, I built internal tools for engineers to create insurance products—such as document generation and premium calculators—which drastically reduced the development time for complex offerings.

Erik is a great guy. He worked almost two years at srprs.me while doing a full time study. He's reliable and really good in his job.
Erik helped srprs.me to solve difficult issues. Due to his full-stack capabilities, in thinking and in developing, the outcome of his work was of high quality. And although he worked part-time for srprs.me, he made sure he was full part of the team.
