At MathWorks, UX designers design for the user. I worked with two cross-functional development teams: Text Analytics and AI Verification & Validation, which included developers, quality engineers, documentation writers, and program managers.
My primary project aimed to enhance data pre-processing for machine learning workflows in the Text Analytics Toolbox. Contextual interviews identified use cases, pain points, and requirements. Using the Design Sprint method, I facilitated a group ideation session with the Text Analytics team. Following the double diamond framework, I diverged and converged to reach optimal designs for each user step. Using Figma, I created detailed prototypes for UX and development feedback. My key contribution was a high-fidelity prototype of the feature, achieving the team's short-term goal - allowing sufficient time for software development, so it can be released. Through the HCDE process, I understood user needs, aligning with MathWorks' goal of enabling effective product utilization.
My second project involved redesigning instructional diagrams for the Deep Learning Verification Library. Following the double diamond, I diverged and converged on separate components, before integrating them together. My short-term contribution was the new diagram, which was used at a MathWorks hosted conference. It showcased MathWorks' commitment to staying abreast of technological innovation, (e.g., AI implementation in safety-critical systems).
