I am an expert in usability and user experience assessment, with experience in running studies in industrial and academic environments. I also have experience in conceptual design, interface design, and application development from several professional positions as an interaction designer.
I enjoy working in multidisciplinary teams, mediating the opposing viewpoints of various stakeholders, and advocating measures to ensure high usability and good user experience. I am a strong communicator, self-motivated, and independent.
