(re: Citi) Though we brought Eric on as a Senior UI/UX engineer for one of our clients, practically from the first day he proved to be much, much more. He demonstrated leadership, and the ability to take ownership of tough problems. He was willing to stretch himself into areas outside of his comfort zone and adapt to changing requirements. And yes, he's a great UX engineer. I'd work with him again.

Eric had a crucial role in establishing the prototyping practice at TDA's user experience group. He was in charge of building prototypes for the web and mobile platforms, and greatly expanded the scope of functionality reflected in those prototypes. Eric was invaluable in quickly getting prototypes ready for usability testing, and to reflect changes in scope in a working, high-fidelity mockup of the final product that can be shared with management. He could always be counted on to go the extra mile to implement detailed designs pixel-perfect. Eric's experience in implementing complex design and his deep technical knowledge also made him our contact person with the creative and technology groups in the organization.

Eric joined our fast-moving Agile software development team at S&P to take over front-end code production. He is an expert in his field, reliable and a pleasure to work with. He brings many years of "seen-that, solved-it" experience to his customers.
CTO, Standard & Poor’s

Eric is very well skilled in all areas of front-end web development including HTML, CSS, XSLT, and Javascripting. Eric multi-tasks well and was solely responsible for seeing code updates persisted across multiple content production phases. Eric works well in a team environment and has been a pleasure to work with.

Eric Weisler worked under my direct supervision at LibGo Travel from June 2007 ending in February 2008. During that period, I had the great pleasure of seeing him working as Sr. Front End Web Developer.
Eric is a hard-working self-starter who invariably understands exactly what a project is all about from the outset, and how to get it done quickly and effectively. During his tenure, I cannot remember an instance in which he missed a major deadline. He often brought projects in below budget, and a few were even completed ahead of schedule.
Eric has excellent problem-solving ability and raw creative talent as an interactive designer. He has shown the kind of initiative, which is necessary to be successful over the long-term in the design and web-programming field.
On the interpersonal side, Eric has superior written and verbal communication skills. He gets along extremely well with staff under her supervision, as well as colleagues at his own level. He is highly respected, as both a person and a professional, by colleagues, employees, suppliers, and customers alike.

Eric was a consummate front-end web developer for IAC Search & Media. He developed code over a wide range of our product base including production level code for www.iWon.com, www.Excite.com and www.myway.com. A key, day-in, day-out team player, Eric always delivered code of the highest professional quality.
Eric is an extremely hard working and self-motivated employee who is always ready to take on a new challenge and I personally saw him learn new coding languages within a short time of their introduction, then turn around and be able to apply these same languages to production level code.
He is able to work well within a team environment, as well as handle projects on an individual basis, which is a unique attribute for an employee. As his manager at IAC, he always excelled at keeping me up to date on his projects status and was always receptive to advice and would often use that knowledge to apply to other projects he was working on.
I strongly recommend Eric for any front-end web development position as he will be a strong asset to any company.
