About Me
I’m Erik August Johnson — a web developer with a passion for mountain, ultra, and trail (MUT) racing.
My Work
I’ve built a career that spans startups, Fortune 500 companies, academic research labs, and scrappy solo ventures.
Ovation: Angular Consulting
I’m currently working with Ovation, a consultancy specializing in Angular development and frontend architecture. We help teams level up their web applications—whether through performance tuning, component library design, or mentoring developers on modern Angular best practices. Our focus is on building scalable, maintainable UIs that feel fast, look sharp, and stand the test of time.
My Projects
Here are a few projects I’ve worked on over the years:
Just Enjoy!
My first real venture out of college - part passion project, part entrepreneurial experiment. Originally launched in 2011 as Vermont Baseball Tours, the business evolved into Just Enjoy, a digitally-powered service focused on helping people experience unforgettable moments at live events.
Replacement Google
A tongue-in-cheek reimagining of web search: intentionally useless, deliberately minimal. Built for laughs, with a surprisingly serious backend.
Flu Near You
A public health tool used to crowdsource illness reporting and track flu activity in real time. I contributed engineering support during its early iterations in academic/public-sector collaboration.
MEGACITY
A crypto trading game built for and launched at ETHDenver. I led engineering efforts across a TypeScript-based stack, with dynamic game mechanics, real-time data pipelines, and full AWS orchestration.
