I research AI, games, and immersive products to turn user behavior into product decisions.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've evaluated AI-powered interview experiences at Invent Artificial, assessing question quality, feedback, scoring accuracy, onboarding, and usability. Through interviews with approximately 15 users and competitive benchmarking, I translated findings into feature-prioritization recommendations.
At Nova Codes and Mighty Warners, I conducted customer discovery, moderated game usability sessions, and researched an AR/VR retail concept for the U.S. market. I turn gameplay friction, client needs, and market signals into practical product recommendations.
Previously at Northeastern University and iTAP Entertainment & Gaming, I used Snowflake, Google Analytics, SQL, surveys, and competitive research to improve engagement and inform product strategy. My research focuses on human-AI interaction, appropriate trust, AI evaluation, and user behavior.
