What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can design and prototype intelligent, human-centered systems that bridge the gap between user experience and artificial intelligence. I value environments that encourage innovation, ethical design practices, and multidisciplinary collaboration between designers, engineers, and researchers.

I’m José Galán, a Conversational AI UX Designer, with a strong focus on agentic systems and human-computer interaction. My mission is to design intelligent experiences that are not only functional and efficient, but also grounded in empathy, ethics, and human understanding.

Over the past years, I’ve led and designed multiple AI-driven prototypes such as AEO & GEO Assistant, All Hub Content, and All Hub Context — multi-agent systems that orchestrate conversational agents to perform complex analysis, content generation, and reasoning tasks.

My UX contributions span from user research and interaction design to responsible AI governance, integrating the principles of responsible AI, implementing the FAST framework (Fairness, Accountability, Sustainability, Transparency).

I’m currently advancing my education through programs from Vanderbilt University, Google, and the Conversation Design Institute, deepening my expertise in AI agent development, conversational systems, digital human design, and AI ethics. This specialization is complemented by training in prompt engineering and UX for AR/VR.
