Summary
Eric Katz is a senior full-stack engineer and design-systems advocate with 12 years of experience building scalable web platforms and UX-driven products, currently shaping experimentation and data metrics at The New York Times. He blends front-end craftsmanship (React, JavaScript, CSS/Sass, BEM/ITCSS) with backend systems (Node, Laravel/PHP, AWS/GCP) to deliver cohesive, production-ready experiences and reusable component systems. As a former product manager and director of technology, he pairs technical execution with product thinking—optimizing conversion, analytics, and A/B experimentation. He runs his own consultancy and leads ecommerce modernization projects, demonstrating an ability to move between hands-on engineering and architecture/strategy. Based in Columbus, Ohio, Eric is as comfortable evangelizing modern front-end patterns as he is building APIs and decision platforms that power metrics-driven product teams.
