Summary
John Bailey is a Senior User Experience Researcher and sociologist of health and technology with a decade of experience turning qualitative and quantitative user stories into actionable product insights. Currently at LexisNexis, he brings a research-first lens honed during a PhD at Rutgers, where he led published studies on digital medicine and built conceptual frameworks from interview-driven cognitive maps. He has taught and mentored across higher education, designed large-scale survey instruments for statewide education initiatives, and translated stakeholder needs into rapid digital learning solutions. Comfortable collaborating with engineers, data scientists, and policy teams, he blends rigorous academic methods with pragmatic product delivery. Outside work he’s a part-time “bunker hacker” who keeps quiet personal projects on GitHub unless you ask — a hint at hands-on curiosity beyond formal publications.
