Available for remote work
Work with me
I bring research depth, design clarity, and engineering follow-through.
Whether you need a researcher who can run rigorous studies, a designer who ships accessible systems, or an engineer who owns the full stack from Figma to production — I work across all three.
UX Researcher
I study the gap between what teams build and what users actually understand.
- Designed and ran an international HCI experiment (Everyday Services Study) with pre-registered hypotheses, isolating interface language as the only variable across banking, healthcare, and government
- Developed the Cognitive Distance Index — a novel metric that measures comprehension independently from task completion
- 25+ years observing how mental models diverge inside complex systems, then designing toward alignment
- Comfortable with mixed methods: survey design, moderated interviews, think-aloud protocols, statistical analysis
Product Designer
I reduce cognitive distance — the friction between designer intent and lived experience.
- Led UX for enterprise and startup platforms — authentication flows, workflow designers, design systems
- Built and documented a production design system from tokens to voice & tone, shipped as a live site
- Deep accessibility practice: WCAG 2.1, screen reader testing, contrast, focus management, motion preferences
- Design-to-code fluency: I prototype in the same stack the product ships in, eliminating handoff friction
Design Engineer
I design it, build it, ship it, and maintain it — end to end.
- Independently designed, built, deployed, and maintained production apps with Next.js, React, and TypeScript
- Shipped a live TV streaming platform (OBS → RTMP → HLS → Next.js viewer) with mobile-first UX
- Built a real-time audio streaming system with WebSocket-based Icecast integration
- AI-assisted development practitioner — using AI to extend research, synthesis, and prototyping without losing craft

I'm open to full-time remote positions, contract work, and research collaborations. Timezone-flexible, async-first, and comfortable working autonomously.
