Erik Mejia
I like to solve problems. Most of the time with words, design and software. Usually in that order.
Been doing it since 2011 for various industries. For example, in 2017 I created and gave away a weather alert system to the Dominican Republic. It became handy later that year when hurricanes Irma & Maria emerged in the Caribbean Sea. At its peak, it had nearly 50,000 app installs on a single week without failing.
