Where am I Going?
When I look back through my experience I see a lot of aircrafts. I have enjoyed my time in the aerospace industry, but the products I support are not products that everyday people, like myself, can use. Human Factors is one of my favorite parts of engineering and software design. Evaluating various designs for how intuitive they are for human interaction is hard to do if you rarely or never use the end product. This is why I want to move into a career managing projects I can interact with from the customer side. Human factors is a skill that we can use not only to design products and software, but should be used to manage in our industries. Even something as simple as an Excel spreadsheet can benefit from an elegant design that is intuitive. I consider human factors regularly in my style of managing people, programs, and projects. Having well thought out tools and organization reduces redundancy and increases consistency. I am pursuing more opportunities to do this in my career and also further my education in Human Computer Interactions and Material Design.
