Senior UX Researcher | SaaS & AI | Turning Complex Systems into Confident Product Decisions

11 yrs experience · Deptford, NJ · <10 hrs/week

About

I’m a Senior UX Researcher specializing in AI-powered and data-intensive B2B SaaS products. I help teams make confident product decisions in complex environments where ambiguity, risk, and scale are high. My work focuses on mixed-methods research, system-level usability, and translating user insight into clear product direction. I partner closely with product, design, engineering, and leadership to align teams around evidence, not opinions. I’ve spent 10+ years helping fast-moving teams improve adoption, reduce rework, and ship more confidently across industries including health tech, enterprise platforms, and emerging AI systems. I’m currently open to Senior UX Researcher roles focused on AI, B2B SaaS, and complex product ecosystems, where research is valued as a strategic function.
