ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
As a Human Factors Engineer with 9 years of experience, I am dedicated to designing human-centered solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and user enjoyment.

In my current role as a Senior Human Factors Engineer at Key Tech, I lead formative studies for medical devices, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. My efforts have resulted in a 30% reduction in time spent on critical tasks through effective task analyses and cognitive workload assessments. I have also authored risk analysis documents for FDA regulatory submissions, showcasing my commitment to safety and efficacy in design.
Throughout my career, I have contributed to significant projects, including the development of the first commercially available Covid-19 PCR test and the design of user-facing medical applications. My strong background in usability testing, accessibility design, and cross-disciplinary collaboration enables me to create solutions that meet diverse user needs while adhering to regulatory requirements.
