  • About the Blogger : Erik Madsen

    Erik MadsenI work as a Senior Developer at an insurance company. We're building a modern tech stack in the cloud using C#, Azure, ASP.NET Core, Angular, TypeScript, etc.

    I've always been interested in chess (a game of complete information) and poker (a game of incomplete information). This is my attempt to write chess-playing software. I'll get to poker later.
