Hello All,

I’m very happy to announce the addition of Preteek Saxena as UX Prototyping contractor to the UX Design team. Prateek will help the design team build high fidelity mockups that allow us to do moderated and unmoderated user testing with systems that test concepts outside the roadmaps of other groups for early validation. Prateek will also aid in transitioning Explore (20%) time experiments into code launchable as Beta Features.

Prateek is a developer with an eye for design. He has worked with foundation developers on various projects in the past including the mobile team. He has developed primarily for the web using frameworks like Ruby on Rails in the back end and d3.js and jQuery on the front end. He has also worked on design for the web, mobile and print.

When Prateek isn’t making beautiful functional prototypes he can be found working on game prototypes http://xvii.in/ & http://vertigo.clay.io/ and making music with friends https://soundcloud.com/bowl-of-petunias

Prateek will  be working with my team and product managers to bring static design concepts to life. He will initially be focused on Navigation Popups and Fixed Header Beta Features, but will certainly branch out to work with us on other projects. He is located in Mumbai, so you’ll mostly see him on IRC or via email.
