Hi, I'm Prateek.
I am an interaction designer at AWS, where I design tools for modern data infrastructures.
My fascination with complex systems has guided my path through healthcare and into cloud infrastructure. Along the way, I've discovered that ❋ conceptual frameworks and code ❋ are powerful design tools I can employ to build clarity and foster shared understanding. Frameworks become maps through complexity and code, a way of exploring what's possible. Together, they help me build interfaces that carry the complexity so people don't have to. This approach shaped my work at Siemens and continues to guide me at AWS.
work
At AWS, I design database services and build tools that help teams understand what customers need from our products.
At Siemens Healthineers, I led design for medical devices through international research while creating design systems and patterns that scaled across the entire product portfolio.
personal projects
I use personal projects as a playground to explore emerging technologies and expand how I think about design problems.
about
Design is understanding made visible—a bridge between technical systems and the humans who use them.
My journey began in India with Mechatronics engineering—a field that interweaves mechanical, electronic, and software systems. This foundation gave me an appreciation for how different elements create functional wholes. After working in IT and seeing how digital products evolve, I found myself drawn to the human side of technology, which led me to study Interaction Design in Italy.
What fascinates me about design is finding clarity within complexity. Each domain contains its own language, rituals, and mental models. I'm drawn to these specialized worlds, uncovering how experts translate their knowledge into daily workflows. By immersing myself in these contexts, I can distill specialized knowledge into frameworks that reveal underlying patterns—much like learning a new language where each term carries layers of meaning.
The most rewarding moments come when technical systems and human needs align—when sophisticated capabilities become intuitive interactions. My work often involves creating conceptual frameworks and working code that make abstract ideas tangible, helping teams develop shared understanding. These thinking tools bridge different disciplines, enabling collaborative exploration of multi-faceted problems.
I believe elegant design does the heavy lifting so users don't have to. It reveals only what's necessary, creating flow rather than friction. This principle guides my approach whether improving medical devices or simplifying developer tools. My aim is to craft experiences where purpose steps forward and technology recedes, allowing people to focus on their goals rather than the tools themselves.
