Entrepreneur, studio owner and a UX teacher.
I’ve started working in the UX field after working as an art director in an advertising agency. The reason I was attracted to this field is because it helped me to make a difference and influence the experience virtually for millions of users, through one product, and one influence.
I’ve started working in the field in small UX characterization and design projects, and I quickly started working with international companies like avg and strakey. Afterwards, I’ve founded an augmented reality app, opened a UX studio and become a UX teacher.
As time went by, I’ve recognized the need and difficulties of many entrepreneurs with a vision who are interested in the UX characterization field to transform their ideas to a characterization work plan, and the need to know more about the UX field. That’s why I started teaching this shortened course for UX characterization. This course is meant for anyone who needs to know the basics to start working on a project, and doesn’t have the time study for months.
I’m Luís Teixeira, Electronics and Computer Engineer, I have been working for 12 years in the areas of Information Technologies, I’ve been in the automotive industry where acted as IT System Administrator/Cybersecurity Engineer, during that time I had the opportunity to design and develop some tools to help Production and Engineering departments on the extreme demand challenges that automotive industry usually has.
I’ve joined Vestas 4 years ago as a Cybersecurity Engineer, and it was for me a huge step in my career, I’ve always wanted to work on in a huge company that could create a positive environmental impact which could be visible in the entire world.
I’m on a Research and Development Department surrounded by extremely talented people that constantly promotes exchange of new ideas and potential solutions to solve business needs.
It is really fascinating being able to work with Industrial control systems, Operational technology (including IT) and introduce Security on top of it. I’ve been involved in several projects, and it’s really great to have new challenges like this. It is quite rewarding being aware that we are developing a piece of component that will be part of a big product that ultimately will make our world more sustainable.
As personal hobbies, I really like photography, practicing CrossFit and spending time with my family.
