UX Researcher

The goal of this project was to assess the capabilities, limitations and overall competitiveness of their software "UCOS ", used to control the machinery for oil extraction. The focus was to evaluate how its features and functionalities are experienced by their users and how it measures up against a leading third-party competitor. I was responsible to investigate and find out what were the biggest pain points for the end user and later compare them with to the competitors' current implementation. This was done mostly by doing several user interviews were with people that use the software in a day-to-day setting, where they were asked about their experience, their biggest pain points and how it could serve them better. By the end of the project, I did a deep dive analysis of each functionality brought up in the interviews and I also delivered a recommendation for prioritizing the implementation of each functionality.
