Eric Marcanio

About

I'm a software engineer with a lifelong passion for technology and a curiosity for how things work. From a young age, I was captivated by computers, and that fascination has driven my career. I thrive on solving complex problems through collaboration and enjoy sharing knowledge with others. When I'm not coding, you'll likely find me outdoors—rock climbing, working out, or exploring the beauty of national parks. I’m always up for an adventure and love connecting with new people who share a passion for discovery and learning.
