I am an experienced professional with a strong artificial intelligence and user experience design foundation.
I hold an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and User Experience Design from Dundee Abertay University, where I gained expertise in data analysis, machine learning, UX research, and AI, alongside a solid understanding of cognitive psychology and academic writing. My BSc in User Experience Design with Honours from Edinburgh Napier University further honed my skills in UX design, UX writing, Figma, Adobe Suite, HTML, CSS, Webflow, and JavaScript.
I have practical experience working as a freelance web accessibility tester, where I analysed websites for WCAG compliance and provided feedback to improve accessibility, ensuring that they are inclusive for individuals with disabilities. Additionally, I worked as a Technical Agent at Unisono CRM (now Intelcia), Spain, handling technical cases, communicating with customers, and managing internal ticketing systems.
