After an 8 years of academic career I decided to became a user's needs advocate in UI/UX by understanding and implementing elegant solutions for them. For that reason I moved to Germany and pursued the second master's degree in Cognitive Systems (Uni Ulm).

As a psychologist I am curious about underlying client's motivation and pain-points while conducting numerous user studies / research. As a cognitive systems specialist I am proud to deliver prototypes which sometimes even don't fail during the first testing iteration. And of course I like prototyping, testing it with real users. Thus, I get my hands periodically dirty with a code and master in HTML / CSS / JS. Then again it helps me to be understood by other members of a dev. tribe.

In last few years I've successfully practiced manual UI testing for an automotive project and got certified ( ISTQB-F ) for it.
