This breadth of experience enables me to approach projects with a pragmatic perspective, while also fostering an environment conducive to innovative risk-taking.

In every endeavor, I remain unwavering in my commitment to aligning with business objectives and requirements, while steadfastly advocating for the end user. This dual focus ensures that businesses not only reach their targets but also deliver solutions that resonate with their target audience.

I bring to the table the credentials of a Usability Engineer and Certified Usability Analyst, complemented by a Master of Science in Human-Computer Interaction. And a Bachelor of Science in Computer Information Systems.
