Erik Weiss is a seasoned software engineer with 13 years of experience building mobile and web applications, currently contributing at Facebook from his base in Chicago.

Comfortable across iOS, .NET, and JavaScript stacks, he excels at designing maintainable, secure, high-performance systems and guiding teams through architecture, estimation, and delivery. As a persistent freelancer and studio co-founder, he pairs product-minded entrepreneurship with deep technical craft, often translating ambiguous business needs into pragmatic, well-architected solutions.
