At this very moment, I’m busy looking for my next role as a Senior UX Researcher or Manager — and maybe, just maybe, you're the person who can help.

Got a tip, a referral, or a good camping site near the Bay Area? Send them my way.

Over the past 8+ years, I’ve led research that shaped products for millions — from threat detection platforms to online grocery lists. Most recently, I spent four intense, fulfilling years at Malwarebytes, where I was promoted from Senior UX Researcher to Research Manager, leading a team of four and managing research across both consumer and enterprise lines.

One of my proudest projects? A complete redesign of our enterprise platform — from Nebula Classic to Nebula 2.0, built on the foundation of modular architecture and a security posture framework.

On the consumer side, I helped transform a scattered product suite into MB5 — an all-in-one security and privacy app. That journey included early explorations into AI-driven UX with our Security Advisor, which now feels like a precursor to the AI-infused future of our craft.

Earlier in my career, I worked on the Google Ads Rapid Research team (REACH-UX), where I supported multiple product verticals - including AdMob, Google My Business, Discover, and Shopping. The highlight was definitely my time with the Shopping team. We tested everything from search result structures to decision-making modules, to the humble but mighty Shopping List. We even ran in-store research at grocery stores to explore how people actually shop — clipboards and all.

Beyond product work, I care deeply about people and process. At Malwarebytes, I launched and scaled a participatory research program that once brought the company together — and later helped designers run their own studies when our team faced cuts. That story has a bittersweet ending, but I don’t mind telling it. It made me a better leader.

And because I couldn’t help myself, I also built a research dashboard in SQL for the Google Ads team — turning hundreds of recruiting metrics into a self-serve insights tool for UX and PMs.

If you’d like to dive into my thinking, start with From Research to Roadmap — a mixed-methods study that informed our modular platform strategy. Or Personas with Purpose, where I rebuilt our consumer persona model from the ground up. Or Power of Desktop Research, if you geek out on competitor audits as much as I do.

I’m based in Sunnyvale, fueled by espresso and curiosity, and trying to make the internet slightly less confusing, one study at a time.
