Hi! 👋🏻
I’m Eryn. My pronouns are she/her. I’m a queer trans woman. I live in San Francisco, CA, with my two cats. I was born in Seattle, WA and grew up in Phoenix, AZ. I attended Oberlin College where I got a degree in Computer Science. Tess is my girlfriend.
I speak English natively; I took a lot of Spanish in high school and college; and I’ve been learning Japanese at City College of San Francisco since 2025.
#Hobbies
I’ve been a musician for most of my life. I started on the piano at age seven, played trumpet in high school, and have picked up an assortment of other instruments along the way. As an adult, I got very into modular synthesizers for a while. I still play piano here and there, and occasionally one of the other things. I also sometimes record things, and I’m hoping to share them here on this site, but for now, they’re on SoundCloud and Bandcamp.
I try to spend my non-work time away from the computer, but every so often I get inspired to hack on something. Those projects usually end up on my local Forgejo instance.
Other things I’ve picked up over the years include: ceramics, calligraphy, knitting, bread baking, bicycling, photography, and astronomy. I often say my hobby is collecting hobbies.
#Professional
I’ve worked as a software engineer since 2011 for a variety of companies around the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve been at Apple since early 2016, first on the iOS Accessibility team, and now on the Authentication Experience team.
