About the Blogger : Erik Madsen

I work as a Software Architect at an insurance company. We're building a modern tech stack in the cloud using C#, Azure, ASP.NET Core, Angular, TypeScript, etc.

For most of my career I've worked full-time for large companies. In that capacity I've written proprietary software to help run my employer's business: searchable product catalogs, CAD / PLM plotting and publication, sales order fulfillment, etc. My focus generally has been inward. Likewise, my code committed to internal repositories. With this blog and my GitHub source code repositories, I intend to look outward and engage more with the programming community.

While I work more often on back-end development and systems integration, given a decent starting point (WordPress theme) and Firefox F12 tools I can wrangle CSS and Javascript into a sharp web UI, don't you agree?

I have written a Grandmaster-strength chess engine named MadChess. Source code, binaries, and technical details are available on MadChess, my chess programming blog.
