• Wrote a procedure to establish human factors activities that were required from design concept, launching a product, and post-market release • Established task and risk analysis best practices which lead to improved collaboration with regulatory affairs and design mitigations to reduce risk and improve usability • Successfully planned and executed a Human Factors Validation study that was submitted in a 510k package to the FDA for an effective approval to release the product to market• Created training materials and wrote the product interaction section of the instructions for use • Planned and executed remote and in-person formative usability studies from early concept to product release for both internal (Case Processing) and external (Web and IOS apps) products which lead to design changes for clarification of terminology, layout, what’s new features, and video tutorials

• Researched and documented best practices for running and analyzing eye-tracking studies utilizing screen-based and glasses-based hardware• Planned and executed eye-tracking studies on instruction manuals along with usability of auto-injectors which lead design guidelines to increase attention and comprehension of the instructions • Created documentation on how to run an internal usability lab that utilized Ovo Studios

Foster City, California, Us

• Defined control room concepts and functional roles for city management and remote vehicle interactions that provided filters to show relevant information and solutions to conflicts• Improved the safety and efficiency of test operations by applying best practices which involved training programs, assigning roles and responsibilities, test cards, and concise communications• Developed advanced UX concepts based on internal testing, along with competitive analyses of advanced safety vehicle systems, semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles

• Planned and executed a series of usability studies which impacted the design of a phone app ground collision avoidance system for general aviation during the iterative process• Baselined the ground collision avoidance system with 24 general aviation pilots which ensured the audio and visual cues provided the appropriate indications and safety• Presented ground collision avoidance system findings at the 2016 World Usability Congress

Randolph Afb, Tx, Us

• Live flight and simulator usability test planning, test execution, and test reporting on unmanned, fighter, and training aircraft and ground collision avoidance systems• Generated over 100 deficiency reports with recommended solutions on aircraft software and hardware that impacted safety and efficiency • Trained and mentored junior human factors personnel on aircraft systems, test planning, questionnaire creation, interviewing, and test reporting• Allocated human factors personnel to ensure each test program had adequate support • Influenced test and design through multi-discipline approach by educating the benefits of human factors and demonstrating design impact to stakeholders • Provided guidance on human factors test plans and reports to other flight squadrons on base

• Ran competitive analysis on general crowdfunding and educational crowdfunding sites to find a niche in which GradLift could operate and succeed• Created personas, wireframes and high-fidelity mockups throughout the website design process• Learned the foundation HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, SQL, and Python to help build the alpha website and to better communicate with software engineers as the team grew• Planned and execute formative usability studies both unmoderated and in person along with guerrilla testing to provide design recommendations during development and post-release• Grew our team from two founders to 15 software engineers, designers, and marketing personnel

Los Angeles, California, Us

The goal of this group is to support the Los Angeles user experience professional community in advancing our knowledge and use of usability best practices. We are an official chapter of the User Experience Professionals Association International (UXPA).
