My name is Eric Hove, and I'm a full-stack web developer in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
I live with my wife, Julie, and our two shy cats: Marcel and Beckett. I worked for the U.S. Government for nearly 10 years and recently made the move to the private sector to work for Allen Interactions in Mendota Heights, Minnesota. I'm experienced in React Js, Javascript, JQuery, HTML5/CSS3, Bootstrap, Firebase, Node Js, MySQL, MongoDB, Express Js, & Handlebars Js, and enjoy solving complex technical problems to create stunning web applications.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, walking, trips to the Boundary Waters, studying machine-learning, and re-watching Blade Runner to fret about humanity's ethically confusing future.
Thank you for visiting, and I hope to hear more from you soon!
Sincerely,
