Summary
Eric Knauer is a Senior Software Engineer and Architect focused on employee experience, bringing nearly two decades of front-end and UX-driven development to large enterprise products. Based in California, he has led design and implementation of business-critical back-office applications at Cisco, created and co-maintains OneUX—a reusable front-end suite adopted across 20+ internal IT apps—and balances hands-on coding with UX research, stakeholder engagement, and mentoring. His background spans consumer-facing work at Sony and ad-tech at Underground Elephant, giving him a practiced eye for pixel-perfect interfaces, performance, and analytics-driven improvement. Known for socializing best practices and winning multiple internal awards, he blends product-minded engineering with practical architecture to accelerate teams and reduce duplicate effort. A less obvious strength is his long-running commitment to mentoring interns and new grads, which has amplified front-end competence across the organizations he’s served.
