Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMonica Kaya is a Freelance UX Software Engineer based in Oxford with 13 years of experience blending front-end engineering and user-centered design to deliver accessible, data-driven web experiences. She has led UX at agencies and institutions—most notably the University of Oxford and Incuna—creating prototypes, sitemaps and interactive tools that connect complex back-end systems (Solr, Elastic, PHP) to clean, usable interfaces. Equally comfortable coding HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript and running user research, she excels at translating stakeholder goals into pragmatic design and reliable implementations. Her work on digital manuscript toolkits and large-scale DAMS projects shows a knack for bridging academia and product development, while her current freelance practice helps businesses launch Shopify storefronts quickly and effectively. Monica’s background in software engineering and an Oxford MSc give her a technical rigor that she pairs with a designer’s attention to detail, often improving project communication as well as final UX.
