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.
If you have
any questions, please feel free to contact me via email or phone
(914-826-2019).
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.
If you would
like further elaboration, feel free to call me at (973) 454-2515.

This is
completely attributable to Eric's work. He was able to collaborate with
us, a diverse and (admittedly) sometimes difficult group, and
to elicit the best that each of us had to offer. The result is a
site of depth, ease of navigation and impressive variety and content.
We could not
be more proud of the site nor of Eric, who is a delight to work with.
We recommend
him and his work without the slightest reservation. Please feel free to contact
me either by email or cell (917) 250-8999.
It is with
pleasure that I recommend
Eric could
always be relied on to get excellent work done in a timely manner and he
always had creative solutions to roadblocks. His knowledge and
ability in the world of the Internet is impressive. I have worked with
very few others who share his desire to learn and turn out the best
possible work.

have any questions please feel free to contact me either by email
