Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolHailee Kenney is a UX researcher in Seattle with 14 years of hands-on technology experience, blending software engineering roots with human-centered design. After a decade-plus of shipping features and automation tools in Python and Ruby at companies like Bright.md and Puppet, she transitioned to UX research through an MS in Human Centered Design & Engineering at the University of Washington. At Dayforce she progressed quickly from intern to UX researcher, applying her engineering background to bridge technical constraints and user needs. She’s pragmatic about experimentation—having led Cypress test adoption and built data-collection tools—so her research is both evidence-driven and execution-aware. Hailee’s work connects product strategy, accessibility, and developer empathy, making her effective at influencing cross-functional teams. Outside of research she still maintains past coding artifacts on GitHub, reflecting a continuous curiosity about engineering trade-offs.
