Summary
Erik Orndahl is a systems-minded Software Engineer III based in Los Angeles with 13 years of engineering experience and nearly eight years building full-stack products across startups and large enterprises. He excels in greenfield development, architectural refactors, and translating product and UX needs into well-tested, reusable code—often mentoring small teams and raising engineering standards. Technically fluent across Python (Django, FastAPI), Angular/NgRx frontends, and cloud/serverless stacks, he has driven measurable impacts like a 50% query performance gain and large-scale ETL and multi-tenant SaaS work. Comfortable with data-heavy systems and security-adjacent features (SaaS posture and OAuth app discovery), he blends pragmatic implementation with long-term maintainability. Known for clean patterns, strong collaboration, and shipping production-ready APIs and components, he brings both operational rigor and an eye for product-driven engineering.
