Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTed Mccarthy is a principal researcher and writer with roughly a decade of professional experience and a 15-year background in UX, ethnography, and global internet research informed by long tenures at Google, ThoughtWorks, and academia. He designs and directs large-scale, internationally focused research programs—managing multi-million dollar budgets—to ensure products work for hard-to-reach users across the Global South, and he’s led early-stage ethnographic work for 0-to-1 internet-access initiatives. Ted consults with startups and agencies to refine product-market fit, teaches best-practices in UXR, and is writing a book based on interviews conducted from Cuba to Gaza about how the internet reshapes culture, politics, and economies outside the West. He also co-hosted a podcast that parsed contentious ideas with humor, publishes regularly (including a Substack), and brings a rare mix of hands-on fieldwork, policy-aware research, and storytelling to technology and design problems.
