I’m a software engineer based in Chicago, IL.

I’ve been making beautiful and functional user experiences on the World Wide Web for 15 years. At Sprout Social, I founded and grew the team web developers tasked with elevating the brand and growing the customer base through digital marketing, including the website and Insights blog, which draw millions of visitors each month. After that, I managed a team of software engineers building Sprout’s flagship social media management product used by over 30,000 customers.

In 2021, I joined Arcadia to help build a platform that makes renewable energy more accessible to everyone. As a Senior Staff Engineer, I help cast the vision for our team’s technical direction and guide the implementation of our product roadmap. I work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to deliver features that help our customers save money and reduce their carbon footprint. Beyond building new features, I’m a fierce advocate for improving our app’s UI and UX, accessibility, and performance.

I’m a husband and a father, a thinker and a tinkerer, a minimalist and an observer. You wont’t find me on social media, so you can write me the old-fashioned way at eric.cecchi@gmail.com.
