Portfolio

Conducted over 50 8-hour data collection sessions for general user studies, utilizing virtual reality headsets, a medical-grade intra-oral scanner, and proprietary image capture systems (Mugsy, pictured above) to conduct extensive user interviews, facial acuity tests, and structural scans.

Worked closely with cross-functional engineering and research study teams to ensure proper equipment setup.

Managed participant interactions, providing instruction and debriefing post-study to gather qualitative feedback.

Operated the research equipment, including the capture dome control system and calibration robot.

Followed and contributed to evolving research scripts based on participant feedback, collecting key metrics to optimize the capture process.

Identified and reported bugs, addressed technical issues during data collection, and collaborated with technical support teams to debug post-study and develop troubleshooting protocols.

Leveraged UX Research & Design principles to support research projects and development activities, streamline data collection documentation, and draft standard operating procedures.

Accurately annotated and labeled data and provided feedback to optimize annotation guidelines

Designed and implemented two pilot user studies in collaboration with an adjacent research team to address data collection limitations identified through UX Research conducted on the primary study design.

Reviewed photorealistic avatars in Virtual Reality environments with a partner, adhering to evolving evaluation criteria to annotate data via proprietary software.

Collaborated with team members to update scoring criteria and develop a strong rapport to effectively produce KAPPA scores for the avatars.

UX Content & Strategy: Participant Feedback Survey(s), Technician Feedback Survey(s)

Led Workgroups: User Experience, Team-Building

Data Diversity Program (DDP): With two other employees of color, I spearheaded an initiative to collect data from a larger variety of participants. The DDP drew in stakeholders from multiple labs, and its influence spanned across multiple projects supporting the Primary Study. I was nominated by my peers to represent our initiative and presented relevant progress updates to the entire Meta Reality Lab.
