About Me
Hi, I'm Yahav.
I am driven by a mission to craft digital experiences, firmly believing that the user is the center of any successful design solution.
I am based in Boston, where I work at Red Hat as an Associate UX Researcher on the User Experience Design Research Artificial Intelligence (UXR AI) team.
What I bring to the table
UX-Related
Through past internships, coursework at Tufts, and a variety of extracurriculars, I have gained a lot of UX knowledge. My skills/abilities include conducting user research methods (observations, interviews, persona development, task analyses), designing information architecture and interfaces, synthesizing quantitative and qualitative data, prototyping and wire-framing, and usability testing.
Application-Related
My application-related skills include Figma, Adobe XD, Solidworks, Blender, Miro, Jira, and the Google workspace. I have also taken several coding classes, and I am proficient in R and C++. I have substantial experience in the AI space, working on the UI of various model creation, serving, and deployment interfaces at Red Hat. I am building more skills in AI prompt engineering as well as model response evaluations.
Soft Skills
Throughout the last few years, I have participated in/led a range of extracurriculars that I feel have contributed to my core skills, including having three major leadership roles at clubs at Tufts and running a human factors lab. I am a strong leader, good at multitasking and problem-solving, and passionate about communication and collaboration. I also have great time management skills
