About
Erich Champion
Senior Engineering Manager
With over two decades of experience at Adobe, I've led teams responsible for large-scale platforms serving millions of users worldwide. My work has spanned Learn/Support systems (2M+ pages, 64 locales), the Dexter platform powering AEM, and the Creative Cloud Plan Recommender - an ML-powered 0→1 product launch. Since leaving Adobe, I've channeled my energy into independent development, creating iOS apps and technical books.
