I am an Engineer and Social Science researcher working at the intersection of technology, engineering, learning, and user research for over 5 years. I have been training to use various mixed methods research approaches to bridge the overarching problem of human needs and value into a viable solution that would help transfer and generate further ideas to varied stakeholders. I am a pragmatist and believe in having a freedom to choose research methods that best meet stakeholder needs. My goal as a UX researcher is to make users life productive and easier through product satisfaction, usefulness, and usability. My vision is to be a life-long learner in user experience research and generate ideas to build feasible and inclusive solutions to empower people.
