A usability engineer
focuses on making technology work in concert with user expectations and
goals. Rather than adapting humans to conform to technical constraints,
the philosophy of user-centered design is to make the technology conform
to human perceptual, cognitive, and physical capabilities. It isn't
always an easy task as business and development teams have their own
agendas and often time, the usability engineer is the lone voice for the
user in the room.
I've been in the field
for 12 years not including the time spent in grad school, and have worked
for a variety of companies and software projects. I'm currently employed
at TandemSeven. I am also available on a freelance
basis for short term projects that can be conducted during off hours or
weekends.
My resume is available in Word
format for download.
