Senior🎓
Top SchoolNaomi Johnson is a senior UX researcher and former software engineer with nine years of experience translating complex technical domains—developer tooling, databases, AR/VR APIs, and data visualizations—into actionable product insights. She combines rigorous mixed-methods research, from in-depth qualitative interviews and usability testing to A/B experiments and funnel analysis, to improve developer and end-user experiences and drive growth. Naomi has conducted research at major platforms including Google (XR/AR/VR), GitHub (security and dev tooling), and GreatSchools (AI chatbots and education data), giving her a rare fluency in both product-facing and developer-facing UX. Trained in Human Centered Design & Engineering and grounded in a CS undergraduate degree, she leverages engineering empathy to ask the right technical questions and surface non-obvious usability issues. Colleagues rely on her to bridge research, product, and engineering teams to turn complex technical constraints into clear, testable product directions.
