Eric Weisler

I had the pleasure of working with Eric during a global project to completely re-design and modernize the user interface of an enterprise application to manage conference services at the United Nations. The project involved stakeholders in five continents and staff around multiple duty stations with different points of view.

He is a problem solver and clearly thinks out-side the box which makes him a great asset. Eric is a true problem-solver and was able to bridge the gap between design and development during our time together at LifeScan.

This allowed us to bypass our development constraints while still guaranteeing the optimal user experience. Not only do I recommend Eric for those looking for a designer/developer hybrid skill-set, but for companies looking for a kind, hard-working employee who will make sure you have the best solution possible. Eric joined our team as a senior prototyper who could span the gap between design and development, and was highly recommended by the senior developers who interviewed him. Since then he has shown himself to be skilled and extremely versatile, quickly delivering options when presented with a problem to solve. He took the initiative to upskill and learn enough React, a complex js framework, to better work with our developers and design library, and has jumped in to help on random projects that have come up, always willing to be a part of the solution. Eric has shown himself to be flexible, as changing priorities and ways of working have required a lot of ...Read More
