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

making music with friends

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.
