Building My Life in the Margins

I’m Eric, an Information Technology Management student coming back to school after spending the last ten years working and learning through hands-on experience. My background is in retail operations and inventory management, where I’ve seen how clear systems, accurate information, and practical workflows can affect a team’s day-to-day work.

I’m interested in the space between business, technology, and people: how tools, processes, and problem-solving can come together to make work easier. My goal is to keep building useful tools, improving workflows where I can, and learning how systems work behind the scenes.

The name of this site, Building My Life in the Margins, comes from the way I’m trying to grow while balancing work, school, responsibilities, and the rest of life. I think of this site as a kind of digital garden: a place to collect ideas, document projects, and tend to the parts of my life that I’m still building.

Some of the work here is finished, some of it is still in progress, and some of it is just an early note that may grow into something later. This space helps me keep learning by building while documenting the process as it unfolds.
