Top SchoolCarrascal Carrascal is a UX research leader and creative technologist with a decade of experience translating mixed-methods insights into product strategy for both consumer apps and highly technical developer tooling. They have led internationally distributed research teams at Microsoft, driving developer experiences for cloud, agentic AI, and VS Code integrations while coaching researchers to multiple promotions. As a hands-on researcher and manager they blend strategic leadership with rapid prototyping using AI to accelerate research and hi‑fi prototype development. Their background spans academic HCI (PhD and postdoc work on organic user interfaces) to real-world creative practice as a musician and producer, giving them deep empathy for creative workflows and audio tools. Based in Barcelona, they mine cross-domain expertise—music production, DAWs, and developer platforms—to surface nonobvious user needs in specialized domains. Colleagues rely on them to turn complex technical contexts into human-centered product opportunities that meet business goals.
