Summary
Eric Loos is a software engineer in Chicago with 10 years of experience who blends full-stack Ruby on Rails and React development with a strong entrepreneurial track record. He co-founded and sold two tech startups, leading product, operations and engineering efforts that ranged from touch-screen analytics to a large-scale event logistics SaaS that integrated with major partners and regulatory bodies. At Prevail Health he builds production Rails apps with React/Redux, PostgreSQL and Firebase, while also taking freelance projects that sharpen his end-to-end delivery skills. His background in finance and operations—managing seven-figure revenue books and hundreds of employees—gives him a pragmatic lens for building scalable, business-aligned software. Colleagues describe him as a do-or-do-not practitioner who pairs hands-on coding with product instincts and an unusually deep appreciation for operational compliance and deployment constraints. He brings founder-level ownership to engineering roles, comfortable shipping features, productizing IP, and navigating complex stakeholder environments.
