BulgariaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior User Experience Researcher with 10 years of experience conducting discovery and evaluative research across fintech and cybersecurity products.
I deploy mixed-methods approaches — usability testing, interviews, surveys, telemetry analytics, and qualitative coding — to uncover critical user pain points and motivations.
I translate research findings into clear, actionable recommendations and have driven organizational adoption of research best practices, protocols, and executive-level briefs that shaped product strategy.
I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to create prototypes, guidelines, and product requirements that result in coherent, user-centered solutions adopted across multiple products and teams.
