Senior🎓
Top SchoolRainee Pei is a Human Factors Design Engineer based in Chicago with eight years of interdisciplinary experience at the intersection of cognitive science, UI/UX, and software development. She blends hands-on engineering (React, React Native, Node.js) with user-centered research—running stakeholder interviews, live sketching, and iterative usability testing—to design accessible interactions for healthcare robotics and consumer apps. Currently at S&C Electric, she builds practical design solutions informed by prior research work at UC San Diego’s Healthcare Robotics Lab where she focused on supporting people with mild cognitive impairment. Her background includes creating instructional tech (interactive textbooks, auto-graded assessments) and leading creative media and community programs for large student organizations, showing a rare mix of technical, research, and communication strengths. Colleagues describe her design approach as evidence-driven and sketch-first, turning qualitative insights into concrete, testable prototypes.
