I am a Master's candidate at Georgia Institute of Technology in the Human Computer Interaction Program (HCI) and will be graduating in December 2009.

This program has helped me to develop my skills of gathering the user needs and to design, implement & evaluate products based on these user needs. This year I worked with the user experience team at Eastman Kodak at their World headquarters in Rochester, NY. Here I successfully implemented the user centered design approach to design and evaluate various digital consumer devices like the digital cameras, digital video cameras and digital picture frames that would be launched in the year 2010. Last year I worked in the R&D department at Walt Disney Imagineering on a project in the area of collaborative computing. This project aimed to increase the communication amongst different people working in the R&D department.

I have divided my portfolio into different phases of the user centered design approach for new product development. These include user research, design, development, usability testing and business analysis.

Do take a look around to see what I have been working on and feel free to send me any questions on neilpradhan@gatech.edu
