Eric Ewing

I'm a Director-level software leader with deep roots in architecture and product engineering. My career spans SaaS, IoT, enterprise software, and cloud-native platforms, with a focus on Microsoft and Azure ecosystems. I've led managers, architects, and individual contributors through large-scale transformations — not just shipping software, but building organizations capable of sustaining innovation — across global teams based in the U.S., Europe, and Costa Rica.

How I lead

I believe in product-aligned, autonomous teams that own outcomes rather than tickets — teams that move faster because they aren't waiting on a silo. I pair that with technical rigor: event-driven architecture for loose coupling and independent deployment, lean delivery practices that shift quality left, and, more recently, AI-augmented workflows that amplify engineers rather than replace them. None of it works without people, so I invest directly in hiring, onboarding, and compensation systems that attract and keep strong engineers, and in mentoring new managers and senior ICs so they can lead with clarity and accountability.

Where I work technically

Architecturally, that's distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and domain-driven design, on cloud-native infrastructure built primarily on Azure — .NET Core, C#, Web API, MongoDB, CosmosDB, RabbitMQ, and Event Hubs, plus IoT integration and ReactJS on the front end. On delivery, that's CI/CD, test automation, DevSecOps, and security-first architecture, built to support AI-augmented development rather than fight it. The numbers behind that work — and the roles I built them in — are on the Work page; this page is the person behind them.

Why I write

I write about the same transformations from the inside — team rehabilitation, cloud migrations, and the practical work of building delivery organizations that scale intelligently — for engineering leaders, architects, and technical executives doing the same thing.
