About

I’m Erick, a software engineer with a background in chemistry. I have mainly worked as a software engineer in my career but I am passionate about chemoinformatics. In my spare time I mainly tinker about with chemoinformatic software projects.

Chemoinformatics has a rich ecosystem with established libraries like RDKit, CDK and Open Babel, but I believe there’s still a lot of room for innovation. I’m particularly interested in how modern programming practices and languages can help take the field forward.

Rust has become my language of choice for these kinds of projects. Its strong type system, memory safety, and performance make it ideal for building reliable scientific software.

I also enjoy working with Python and TypeScript — especially for building accessible interfaces and tooling that make these ideas more approachable.

If you’re interested in chemoinformatics software, Rust, Python, or TypeScript — or better yet, all of them together or you’re building something similar, I’d love to hear from you.
