UX design · Support engineering · Apps
Hi, I'm Michael.
I design and build apps and internal tools. I spent seven years in fleet telematics support, most recently as a Rapid Support Engineer building internal tools, and before that as a Sr. Product Support Engineer. That's taught me what people really need from the software they use every day. My UX certificate from the University of Washington gave me the design skills to deliver it.

Critr
A fun way to cut down on phone use. A mobile game concept that rewards you for picking up your phone less, designed from user research in the University of Washington's UX & Visual Interface Design certificate.
Critr is a design concept from my coursework, not a real product. It was never built or released, so there's no app to download.
- 16 user interviews
- Journey map, competitive analysis
- Wireframes to hi-fi

My experience in customer care and technical support has galvanized my belief that UX is like a joke: if you have to explain it, it's not that good.
My UX & Visual Interface Design certificate from the University of Washington sharpened those instincts. These days I put them to work building apps of my own, like VMote and the 4K UHD Blu‑ray Tracker.
