Speaking
Conferences, university guest lectures, and the occasional internal teach-in. Most are about how research actually moves a product roadmap, and what gets in the way when it doesn't. Available for new engagements.
Leading a session on how teams make AI models fit for purpose.
Panel on how research teams are using AI, where it creates the most value in UXR, what it still cannot do, the ethical concerns it raises, and how the profession may change.
On anthropology in product work, why small samples are enough, and how to brief executives.
Panel with researchers from SF Digital Services, USDS, and the MBTA on what ethnography looks like inside and alongside public institutions.
Organizing something? I talk about payments research, cross-cultural fieldwork, and how research actually moves a roadmap. hi@abbasjaffer.com
