Eric Höppner

I'm a Technical Lead Manager with a frontend development background and over 10 years of experience building modern, scalable, and user-friendly web applications. In my current role, I combine hands-on coding with team leadership, mentoring engineers, setting technical direction, and aligning delivery with business goals.

Throughout my career, I've introduced TypeScript across projects, modernized build tools (migrating from Webpack to Vite and Jest to Vitest), and increased test coverage for a more robust codebase. I've also led efforts in developing scalable component libraries with React and Emotion, optimizing CI/CD pipelines, and integrating tools like SonarQube for static analysis.

I care deeply about clean, maintainable code, accessibility, and customer-focused solutions. I advocate for best practices like semantic versioning and migration guides to make technical changes easier to adopt. What motivates me most is driving innovation — whether by improving shared libraries, setting architectural standards, or enabling teams to work better together.

When I’m not refining codebases or exploring new technologies, I’m usually brainstorming game ideas and tinkering with the Godot engine. Whether it’s leading a team, leveling up a design system, or navigating the adventures of marriage and parenthood — I’m always looking for ways to build, improve, and move things forward.
