My name is Hasnain Nazar and I lead a Product team at Workday around Personalization & Insights. I completed my masters at the School of Information at UC Berkeley with a focus on user experience and product design. Before I started my masters program I was Director of Technology of the Everett program. Everett is based out of UCSC and focuses on information communication technology for development (ICT4D) and Social Entrepreneurship. We trained undergraduate students to become enterprising IT-literate activists who pursued sustainable development by working with both local and global organizations. I myself worked on projects locally (Watsonville, Santa Cruz, D.C.) and globally (Nigeria and Malaysia).

Projects I am Currently Working On
- Personalization & Insights: Leading a group of Product Managers on the right way to bring personalization as a both service and experience to end users of Workday.
- Digital Divide – Bringing connectivity to Rural Northern California via a broad band service. I am researching and evaluating questions such as: Is internet a human right? What are the changes (positive and negative) felt by a community new to high speed internet?
- Currently serving as the youngest board of director for a nonprofit in the Bay Area focused on cultivating critically-engaged, confident – American-Muslim citizens.
- Developing camps and unconferences for various communities – kids to nonprofit organizations. I’m lucky enough to help with at-least 4 big events a year and over 30 continuous ones (benefits of being a student!)
