Profile: https://flows.cv/abdalla

I am a Human Factors Engineer and Researcher with strong backgrounds in product design, engineering for manufacturing, and psychology. From consumer products to the human brain, understanding how things work fascinates me.

I hold a Master's in Human Factors Engineering from Tufts University. I received my Bachelor's from Northwestern University with a double major in Manufacturing and Design Engineering (MaDE) and Psychology. I have roughly 4 years of hands-on research experience on a variety of wearable and consumer technology.

I am currently working as a Human Factors engineer at Apple working on designing and executing human factors studies as a contractor via Sasken. 

I have experience as a Human Factors Engineering Intern on the Product Design Validation team at Apple. I developed my passion for using design thinking to fit solutions to human behavior. 

I am skilled at using human connection and empathy to drive the design process and working in a team. Skilled in User Testing, Data Analysis, Graphic Design and CAD (NX and SolidWorks).
