Hi, I’m Erik Westrup, a software engineer based in Berlin.

This site is where I share writing on software engineering, developer tooling, and the systems behind modern web apps, including CI/CD, Linux, and static sites.

I also write occasionally about Buddhism, reflecting on how practice and ideas like impermanence relate to life and work as a software engineer.

You’ll also find selected personal projects, a small art gallery, and ways to get in touch.
