👋 Hey There! I am Dinesh
I recently completed my Master's in Human-Computer Interaction at University of Maryland-College Park, and now seeking UX Research roles.
I've always loved photography. I sought to blend my artistry with functionality, finding it in UX Research. My recent UX Researcher role at HCIL-UMD, honed my expertise in designing data-driven products and currently at Maryland Initiative at Digital Accessibility, I am focused on improving digital accessibility in instructional technologies to better serve
K-12 children with disabilities.
As a researcher, I create insights and solutions that are both impactful and grounded in evidence. My guiding principle: If you can't explain it to a 6-year-old, you don't understand it yourself.
IMPACT
At the Human-Computer Interaction Lab, I have influenced product development for various companies.
EXPERIENCE
I have conducted UX research across diverse domains, including - AI tools, Accessibility, Math apps, Museums, Sustainability, Gentrification, Google Teachable Machines, and Micro:bits.
EXPERTISE
In depth knowledge in qualitative research methodologies specialiZing in youth-focused studies.
