Eric Nagel - Software Engineering Leader

About Me!

I'm Eric Nagel, a CTO and software engineering leader with over two decades of experience building scalable systems, leading remote teams, and solving tough technical challenges - especially in PHP.

I specialize in designing and operating systems that power performance-driven businesses. With a deep understanding of both code and operations, I bridge the gap between business goals and technical execution.

Beyond tech, I'm also a committed community organizer and the founder of Kenmore Porchfest, a nonprofit music festival that brings neighbors together and turns porches into stages. I believe in using both technology and civic action to make lasting, positive impact.

Ways I Lead and Build

My Expertise
	Technical Leadership I lead with a hands-on approach: setting vision, writing scalable code, and empowering developers to grow into confident, independent problem-solvers.
	Scalable Software Development From performance-driven web apps to automation platforms, I build resilient systems with clean architecture, robust testing, and long-term maintainability.
	Remote Team Strategy With decades of experience running distributed teams, I create systems and culture that make remote work efficient, transparent, and deeply collaborative.
	Community Impact As the founder of Kenmore Porchfest, I bring people together through events, civic tech, and nonprofit leadership - because building community matters offline too.
