About Eric W.

Eric W. is Global Chief Technology Officer at PG Forsta. Location: Los Angeles, California, United States.

I've spent two decades building technology products — from zero-revenue startups to global SaaS platforms with engineering teams hundreds strong. Along the way I picked up a few patents and learned that the most important engineering decision is usually the one nobody documented. Lately I've been writing about my lived experience navigating the AI transition — what it's actually doing to the people who build software for a living, how we measure work differently now, and where the real constraints have moved. The shift I keep coming back to isn't about which AI tools you use. It's about whether you can tell when the AI is wrong — and why. Specification clarity. Trade-off reasoning. Judgment that doesn't show up in a polished résumé. Gandhi said to learn as if you'll live forever. I try to take that seriously, which means I'm still looking for the edges of what I think I know. If you're building something, thinking carefully about what AI actually changes versus what it doesn't, or want to argue about measurement frameworks — I'm up for it.
