Everyone,
Apologies for the delayed announcement, but I'm pleased to welcome a new member of the Product group. Pau Giner started last Monday as an Interaction Designer. He will be working with us as a contractor, based out of Valencia, Spain. As many of you know, our features often involve complex user flows and interactions. Pau will be help us think through these interactions, design intuitive user flows, and work with our engineering teams to implement more user-friendly interfaces. He will be working on both our Localization projects (with Siebrand) and our Editor Engagement projects (with Fabrice).
Pau has been attracted to both creativity and technology from the very beginning. He started sketching as a child, and now cannot resist the temptation to capture any thought that crosses his mind in the nearest piece of paper (or a graphics tablet) he finds.
Pau has a PhD in Computer Science from the Universitat Politècnica de València. His work at the Universitat focused on mobile and workflow automation. Prior to joining the Wikimedia Foundation, Pau was at Everis, a technology consulting firm, where he worked on different e-Government projects with the goal of simplifying the relationship between citizens and public administrations.
In his spare time, he loves reading short stories by Jorge Luis Borges, Julio Cortázar, and Quim Monzó. He also maintains a blog at: http://pau.antiblog.com
Please join me in welcoming Pau!
