Amish Patel
Amish Patel is an engineering program manager for the Windows Touch team within the Human Interfaces group at Microsoft working on touch optimized user experiences. Amish is currently working on a set of thoughts he calls “the touch principles”, which are a set of design guidelines that modern developers and designers should be considering as we move from conventional mouse and keyboard GUI toward touch first user interfaces. In addition to this research, he is driving his team toward a vision of every Windows computer in the world to be mobile, connected and touchable!
Background: Amish is a proud Canadian, born and raised in Toronto and attended the University of Toronto’s computer science and economics departments. Amish started his time at Microsoft analyzing usage patterns and designing interactions for pen based computing on the Tablet PC platform. Amish later joined the Windows Touch team to deliver the first multi-touch Windows OS in Windows7.
Amish is excited about the rise of touch based computing within an ‘always connected’ world, which in his eyes marks the shift toward more natural and intuitive ways in which humans can better learn, play, share!
