Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrayas Lashkari is a design-focused frontend engineer and UX practitioner with nine years of experience building cross-platform products and data-rich interfaces, currently leading UX and React-based frontend development for SawGraph at Northeastern in collaboration with the EPA. He blends user-centered research—interviews, flows, high-fidelity prototypes and iterative testing—with hands-on engineering (React, Leaflet, SparQL) to turn complex geospatial and environmental data into usable visualizations. Previously he shipped mobile and web UX improvements at H1, scaled React Native apps to 10x MAU at SquadStack, and implemented production video-conferencing features at ThumbStack. Prayas has a track record of reducing engineering rework through validated design and delivering measurable impact—like a 30% drop in support tickets at CrowdStrike—while also building type-enforced design systems and mentoring teams. Based in Boston, he pairs academic research experience with startup execution and a knack for micro-interactions that materially improve engagement.
